Crazy smart

Lisa and Margaret (UE2) were supposed to be discussing the Duckworth reading (the introduction to The Having of Wonderful Ideas).  Margaret had not done the reading, but was happy to talk to Lisa about students they both know who have amazing ideas.  Lisa then offers her theory that some people are "crazy smart," like Feynman and Einstein, and quite possibly some of their own students.  Elementary teachers, however, are not likely to be crazy smart, because to be a good elementary teacher means relating to people who have a hard time understanding something.  Ouch.
