“Any parent who comes to the realisation that his or
her child is gifted generally feels conflicting emotions: happiness
and confusion. Happiness over the fact that one has an unusual
child and confusion over how one is going to deal with this child.“For a geek, the situation is much the same. When Andrew
McMillan (below), a senior Debian GNU/Linux developer and a free
software geek, found out that his elder son, Max, was unusually
gifted, he reacted as any loving parent would.“”When my son first went to school we had lots of problems with
his schooling when he was five,” McMillan told iTWire in an
interview. “The school brought us in on various occasions to work
out how they were going to try and cope with this child who was
difficult for them to deal with in class.”
