  I'm reminded of this tale. So, this dude's getting the grand tour
  of some fancy-pants elementary school for whiz kids, right?

  They're filling him in on how these little Einsteins are blazing
  through books at warp speed.

  He's like, "Whoa, that's some next-level reading for tykes their age!"

  But get this - they drop the bomb that it's not about teaching
  these mini-geniuses to read faster. Nope, they're actually trying
  to slow them down.

  but I've combed through that bad boy and zilch. Guess my
  memory's playing tricks on me like a Hollywood plot twist . . .)
