Carissa is actually entertaining the hypothesis that dath ilan has selected for an entirely different rate and kind of brain development in children. She remembers being a five year old and she required one on one tutoring from her mother to have enough attention for anything at all complicated, constantly forgot things that ought to be in working memory and needed reminding of them, and having about ten minutes' attention span for actual thinking. Trying to teach her math in a group would have been a disaster.
