A few items on this list show writings of intuitive children, which, according to entrepreneur and speaker Dr. Kuhmar Mehta, is a promising sign. It’s one of the indicators of a gifted child, which also includes keen observation and the tendency to ask questions.
In his article for CNBC, Dr. Mehta also mentioned the early use of advanced vocabulary, which you’ll likely also see in some of these photos.

This 9-Year-Old Is Already A Pro At Cutting Corners On Homework

Billy Collins wrote a similar take on a sonnet. Aside from the literal correctness of the syllables, the haiku makes an observation and draws a conclusion from it. Well done.

I never got the appeal of haikus... not even trying to c**p on then, I just don't see what's special about counting syllables. Does it sound better in Japanese?
Regina Holt 2 months ago
especially the fact that Japanese language is so different, I watch some Japanese shows on Public Television (usa) and the dialogue is translated at the bottom of the screen. They use a lot more syllables than what the English language does to say stuff.

Some of the kids in my son's class had handwriting like that in 2nd- 3rd grade. There are always student's projects posted on the walls around the classrooms and in the halls at school so any parent who attends the parent teacher conferences can see them. I've seen some downright gorgeous handwriting. People underestimate how clever and capable young children are. My own handwriting was as nice as this around 2nd-3rd Grade (I still have old school work and my diary from then). It was better at age 9 than it is now in my 40's. Edit to add: 9 is probably a 3rd or 4th grader if this is the US.

Many parents are alarmed by their child’s underachievement in school. However, it could also be due to a lack of motivation. As educator Megan Canella pointed out in her CNBC article, kids could lose interest if schoolwork isn’t challenging or interesting enough.
“In school, they can be easily bored because they learn things faster than their peers,” Canella wrote, comparing it to an employee going through an eight-hour shift.

Parents, however, can help make their children more engaged by surrounding them with like-minded and talented people. If your kid is into art, enroll them in a class where they can make friends and see others do their best.
“When kids see people around them shine in an activity, they are motivated to raise the bar and be even better,” Dr. Mehta wrote.

When I started school my teacher said to me "see you tomorrow!" And apparently I replied with "only if my dad let's me live" My dad (who used to pick me up) had a LOT of explaining to do

This reminds me of once when I was grading kids' papers (2nd grade math) and one kid very confidently had written 7-6=20. Someone else put that a dollar equal was 2 cents.

As a teacher, the majority of these are pretty spot on. I’m an ESL teacher and the kiddos can come up with some intentionally and unintentionally hilarious stuff.
