Anecdotally--when we were in kindergarten, on the first week there, they were getting rid of a bunch of old books and told all of us that we could take two books from this collection of old books. Most kids took picture books; I took a 5th grade and a 6th grade language arts textbook and read them religiously.
I was up to Shakespeare by 2nd or 3rd grade.

thanks man. what do you think of my ranking?
also, can i just vent here. the shakespeare in DC is only doing ONE shakespeare production this season (out of 6), and it's his shortest one (comedy of errors).
when i started going back in 2008/09, they did 3-4 shakespeares per season, then they changed art directors or whatever a few years ago and went with this flaming queer. he started doing a minimum of one musical per season, cut down to 2 shakespeare. now they're doing one.

I think your ranking is a good one; I just personally like our revels are now ended a lot so I put it higher, but they're all good
That's really frustrating to hear. Who the fuck goes to DC to see a musical, lol? Although Comedy of Errors is at least one that really benefits from being staged--it's very farcical even by the standards of Shakespeare's comedies and there's a lot of collateral comedic business that good actors and direction can wring out of an already funny script.
Do you like Measure for Measure? I think that's the most prestigious Shakespeare play. Although I'm ashamed to admit I haven't actually *read* any Shakespeare in years at this point; need to change that.

the tempest is 180 as fuck (soo meta), and that one could have been higher.
i've actually seen CoE twice before. once at the shakespeare, once at the folger. it's always a really good production. one of my favorite recent ones was much ado at the shakespeare in late 2022. it was set at a cable news network, and during one scene one of the characters was railing lines of coke.
i haven't read measure for measure in a long time. i unfortunately had a ticket for it at the shakespeare but was very bad off with substance abuse and skipped it.
i'm gonna get a ticket to the CoE production but no more subscriptions at that place.
folger is still holding it down with 2/3 per season being shakespeare.

I believe this, but it makes me think how if a kid had "off the charts" pitching ability at age 7 they'd stick him in year round all star leagues, hire college pitchers to give him one on one training in the summer, parents rearrange their lives around this gift. I've seen it happen (including for kids who are most definitely on the chart).
off the charts verbal iq and its like, ok public school kindergarten should be fine, they do G/T enrichment twice a week. hand him some books or whatever; enjoy cornell.

MPA, what was your development like in math and sciences?
Also, if you were reading Shakespeare by age 8, what did you do in English classes through 12th grade?

I was above average in math and science throughout school but not like amazing at it--I also just don't find thinking in those ways as interesting, except for logic (but I hated geometric proofs, idk why).
As for English classes--to be sure, I was reading Shakespeare by age 8 and generally understanding the plots, etc., but it's not like there wasn't still a ton of nuance to unpack etc. So I mostly amused myself in English classes by bringing a lot of extracurricular knowledge of literary theory, etc. to bear on my assignments.
Also--there were a ton of smart people at my high school and while I was probably one of the smartest overall, there were legitimate math prodigies there, and plenty of people on the humanities side of things who were very smart/curious as well.
