Well it was fun while it lasted; now this thread just stinks.

I remembered that Gbaji had this same "I'm the smarted man ever!" screed way back in the day. He even cites the same story about how he solved long division all by himself!
Of course, this is the same thread where he insisted that getting married in California required signing a giant contract equivalent to a home mortgage so take the self-taught-wisdom angle for what you think it's worth.

I believe he's self taught. It explains why social interactions, human behavior, and pattern recognition seems to be such mysteries to him.

Fuck, I hope so. If there's someone out there telling C students they're geniuses and should ignore education because their autodidact abilities render it useless we have a real problem. On the other hand, one mentally ill tech support guy is fairly meaningless in the grand scheme.

Technically, he said that they felt "genius" wasn't a good enough word to describe him.
I'd certainly agree that "genius" isn't a good word for describing Gbaji.

It was a "Gentleman's C." He went to Harvard in 1945, he just forgot because he intuitively knew how to build a time machine from looking at a clock and bag of onions, but blocked it from his memory for the good of mankind.

Um, make that two, but yeah, still not world-breaking.

I'm so late to this party it's not even funny, but I stumbled across this:
And I just had to share a quick tip on how to get kids to do what you want them to do. It's pretty simple, really, and we use it all the time at work. You just need to learn to use one very specific phrase when you want the kid to do something.
The phrase is: "I want you to..."
No, this is not a joke. Repeat the phrase up to two times if needed, then visibly ignore the child for a few minutes, and then repeat the process. It's very important that you use that specific phrase and that you don't get emotional at any point in the process.
Example: Kid is using foul language.
"Watch your language!"
"I want you to stop using swear words when you're talking to me."
There's a metric sh*t-ton of psychology behind all this, but I thought I'd keep it simple. I spent many hours attending various courses to basically learn the above. It's very uncomfortable the first few times you try it, because you're expecting it to fail, but I have never had an episode where it did not work.
If you're a bit wary of trying it out on the powder keg you call your child, try it on your spouse first. Yes, it works on adults as well.

Negotiation has it's place, but there are also definitely places where it isn't appropriate. What I think is almost always appropriate is reasons, always explain the why of any decision you make if the kid asks, even if the end result is the same, it's helpful.

Please "talk up" if your comprehension white-shifts. I will use simple-happy language-words to help you understand.

There is a time and place for that as well.

I meant to comment on this earlier.. "Tyrone" is a black name, at least in the US.

I did a quick look at Google "end out" for the phase and the first one is a Spanish dictionary of proper use of the words together. Then a bunch of poorly written articles were either the phase was used or the words were next to each other with a coma between them, plus 2 were End, was a proper noun.

I always found checking a foreign language book can school me on proper usage of words in English, when my old English grammar book is confusing me. I'm not one to use proper grammar, as my brain tends to mix up words, that have the wrong meaning from what I meant all the time. But I do at least try to get things correct, when I can.

Now onto the subject of Corporal Punishment use in the African American community. I've live in a mainly African American community for some 28 years now and sen how children who are spank turn out, compare to those who parents actually use the modern theory of how to discipline their children. Those who are spanked, tend to be the trouble makers as teens and young adults They don't respect anyone and it shows in how they act towards others. While the ones raised properly as Smash suggest they should, are polite, well manner persons that respect others.
So just because a culture believes that their way is best, doesn't make it so. Also I found when you do show even the biggest trouble makers respect, they will behave for you. It is why I was often asked to watch the 4th and 5th graders classes at one school I volunteer at, were my daughter was the one of only 3 white students there. The students would behave for me, compare to the other volunteers who bought into the idea that the kids were bad students who needed to be spanked, like they were as children.
