My younger sister nearly failed 1st grade math. She barely passed 1st grade. Her strongest area is reading, but even then she reads at grade level.

I think my parents had enough when they had to put up with me. I remember very clearly when I was about 3 years old, my dad would go to the store nearly every week to buy more books for me. My mom would spend most of her day with me. I was encouraged to read. Before I went to school, I was reading for nearly 9 hours a day. I went to preschool for a month or so, but my parents thought it was a waste of time [and money] and I dropped out. By age 5, I was in the first grade and I had written nearly 60 stories, hundreds of pages, filling several notebooks. My teachers called me a maniac. :D
