Maybe it's okay to be a well-rounded student...

I found out my boys know a lot of esoteric vocabulary. I ask where did they learn them?
Pokemons or videogames based on mythology and ancient history. Characters, weapons, locations, etc have SAT vocab.
They are also very good at strategic problem solving not just at mindless shooting. Hopefully it will “translate” into real life problem solving someday.
S19 has been developing ‘leadership’ skills when going on a raid (I don’t know what that is) with a team of 4-6 and leading them in battles where the other members are much older in 40s? and they don’t believe DS’s age as his voice is much low.

If only Common App could be put on Wii/PS4/Xbox.

S17 had made into finals and held world ranking in Minecraft Spleef World cup for two years couple years ago, but since then both boys retired from Minecraft.
