Are you as smart as a 9th-grader?

If it's these three ninth graders, probably not.

The three students, 15, 15 and 16, won a national science contest sponsored by the U.S. Army. In addition to scholarship funds, they were given a three-week summer internship here at
La Salle. They'll b doing chemistry experiments with Dr. Michale Prushan.

What I found fascinating is that they're being home schooled, and have many outside interests as well. One might pursue a career in art; another wants to be a lawyer but talked about doing an undergraduate degree in chemistry, and the third is leaning to engineering and physics. And I had to ask this: what do you do if the teacher tells you to do something you don't want to do and the teacher is also your mom! All 3 told me they get along with their parents in this capacity (and that answer shows you how smart they are!).
