I have raised high talent children (1 boy and 2 girls). My girls thrived in school while my boy did not. They are all equally brilliant and talented in their own way.
My son was on elite traveling basketball teams, all star baseball teams, and earned a podium medal for track at state. He hated school and failed to get his diploma -- one credit short. (He made it up later at a community college.) He excelled as an US Army Ranger in a high-skill combat role with the Rangers (fire support specialist).
He was diagnosed with ADHD at a young age, but I didn't believe in such a thing back then. (I believe it now given my late diagnosis and ongoing treatment and struggles.)
I hated school too what a boring nightmare. I still feel guilty about taking my son to school when he was 6 years-old and begging me to let him hang out with me instead.
That memory will always be a record of one of my greatest regrets and failures.
