Except they're way more complicated.

Maybe I should take it. If I get a perfect can I get into grad school without an undergrad degree? That'd be tight.

If I have a kid and it can't figure that out by age 9 I'll be pretty surprised.

Questions like that are actually on the LSAT.

I took care not to say that 9 year olds couldn't answer it, that they would have trouble with it. You can solve logic problems without using abstract thought, it is just easier with abstract thinking. Venn Diagrams and Truth Tables are basically tools to allow concrete thought about abstract logic ideas. And there is the old standby of guessing and thinking it through, which is more trial and error than abstract problem solving.

This is the kind of stuff like stating "All Snazbooms eat only snookberries. All snookberries grow on Mount Trox." then asking questions like "Something is eating a snookberry, is it for sure a snazboom?" or "Something is eating a Bangboppal Fruit, can it be a snazboom?" or "A Snazboom picks a berry off a bush and eats it, is the bush on Mount Trox?" Those are the kinds of questions most 9 year olds will have trouble with but most high schoolers can answer.

Deductive logic by Dr Seuss

I'll try not to interupt the sex ed talk, but I just wanted to hop in and mostly agree with Epinephrine's view of the Grade Equivalent. One thing I wanted to add is that generally, according to the Piaget's theory of cognitive development (which generally makes a lot of sense), most 9 year olds are still usually in the concrete stage, while most 11th graders have at least part-way into the formal (abstract) stage. This would be where kids learn stuff like what a hypothetical situation is, or how to make logical deductions.

Those are the kinds of questions most 9 year olds will have trouble with but most high schoolers can answer.

However, congrats on your daughter's test scores and the best of luck to her in the future. Her test percentile is impressive, but grade equivalents are generally bunk.

Well i'm definately going to introduce her to sexuality this year. I'm hoping to break the ice with the beginning of that movie, "Look Who's Talking". It's an excellent animation of the fertilization process. If any finds a link to that scene please post it. thanks

You're pathetic

I had sex in 5th grade.

"i want real woman, with hair between her amrs and legs... i wanna get lost in it!"

[Jeenyuss]

hs are you going to put her into highschool?

[D1st0rt]

Da1, that's how childbirth works. They usually aren't blue though unless the mother was a smoker (or have some other oxygen deficiency).

Our sex ed was kind of horrible. What (annoyingly enough) struck me out was a video of a mother giving birth to a child. First of all, the woman was REALLY fucking hairy. I'm talking about pubic hair up to the belly button, and half way down to her kneecaps. I know some people, displaced for instance, like hairy women. I don't. Second of all, when the baby finally came out, much to my despise, it was all blue and slimy, covered in...well, you get the point.

Been traumatized since that :P

I had sex ed in 5th grade. They separated the boys and girls and I was very annoyed because the boys got root beer floats and girls got a corny tea party. Also, they had our mothers sit in the class next to us while we watched the videos. They all thought it was so funny and cute whenever we had our arm's crossed and the film was talking about breasts or hands between our legs when the film was about the genitalia. If we wanted to ask questions, we had to raise our hands. It was a horrible class

On a completely different note, my best friend was home schooled her middle school years and in the program twice a week she went to some gym and interacted with 50 or so other kids being home schooled. Does your daughter get to do that heavensent?
