      Friends:
 
 To add to recent discussion here on Ohiogift on the academic life of students, you might want to read two new articles on smart kids, test-cramming, nature vs. nurture, and related issues on academics, anxiety, and giftedness:
 
 The Secret to Raising Smart Kids is from Scientific American, here:
 http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-secret-to-raising-smart-kids1/?
 
 Inside a Chinese Test-Prep Factory is a major feature in the New York Times Magazine, here:
