Yep. Which can happen at schools for the gifted, as it did for me. And much like Anya, I was asleep though a lot of those lectures. I wasn't in the gifted program long.

A lot of folks are calling Anya dumb, but she's not.

She's not even average, she's four.

It's even more impressive when you consider that these kids have probably had the best tutors money and power can buy since birth while Anya's spent the last year or so going in and out of orphanages. It's incredible that she's even managing to keep up.

she *is* an esper tho

She could be 4. Or 5. She might even actually be 6. We don't know her actual age. She probably is younger than 6, given the framing of that scene, but it's ambiguous what her real age is.

Actually, she's 7.

the bright side is that frantically trying to compete with people one year older than you is a highly-effective-if-brutally-difficult way to learn

that's thought to be why top professional athletes have a disproportionately large number of older siblings - Larry Jordan made it to collegiate basketball, his little brother spent his entire childhood trying to keep up, and made it to all-time great

I would assume there's some selection bias there, in that you really only hear about the cases where younger siblings successfully out-do their older siblings, but that there's probably a pretty high rate of burn out for younger siblings trying to out-do older siblings and just not being able to keep it up long term, eventually transitioning to other things if not just collapsing emotionally and mentally from the effort in worst case scenarios.

they looked into that too by looking at younger vs elder siblings in families that had an elite athlete. If you're younger than your star sibling, you tend to do more competitive sports and get to a higher level of sport achievement than if you're older than your star sibling.

so a hypothetical Bob Jordan (Mike's younger brother), would probably play a lot more basketball than his other siblings, and would probably do it well

Honestly, I do like the juxtaposition of Cute Family Comedy against what is essentially a huge power keg situation if you really think things to their natural conclusion.

the recurring theme that the adults know how awful war is, and are trying to protect the kids from that knowledge is solid, and works with how the manga is normally really light toned, with occasional glimpses of really dark stuff

They lost their one success in human testing and somehow misplaced one of their more promising animal subjects. The entire program is top to bottom flawed, getting burned to the ground is the least bad thing that can happen to them.

Or maybe they saw the future and realized that everything would work out for the best in a kooky sort of way if they just released Anya and Bond to face their destinies.
