"She helped her son craft the questions."

Of course she did; they were in HER words b/c no 11-yr. old boy would come up with those questions. His other is an outspoken progressive activist. This is just another "clock boy", that's all.

I know for a fact that there are 11 year old kids that can think at a higher level than some of their peers, these kids are labeled Gifted, I taught quite a few of them higher level math. They will ask questions to keep one on their toes. They don't ask questions to be smart, they ask questions because they are smart.
