SAT? 826!

It's Sunday morning and the birds are chirping outside my window. Another gorgeous day in San Jose. I spent yesterday afternoon at 826 Valencia (the happiest place on earth), teaching the final installment of my free SAT extravanganza. There were some really impressive kids in the class. I always try to gently pump that kind of kid for details...private or public school? what do your parents do? are they still together? I try to stop myself before I weird the kid out, but I'm on a perpetual quest to figure out why some kids are all golden and shiny and brilliant and others are, well, not.
