[edit] Teacher at Harvard
The article doesn't mention that Boris Sidis taught psychology at Harvard. --Jagz 19:29, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sentence removed without explanation
The following sentence was removed from the article twice by Chryen without providing a reason or explanation:
"He was a major practitioner of a particularly American version of the "rest cure," using a large compound in New Hampshire." --Jagz 00:18, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
- Whoever wrote that sentence never read anything by Boris Sidis. Sidis regarded it as "suicidal to indulge the patient and suggest to him a rest cure" [1]. Moreover, Sidis insisted that "[r]est is harmful to the neurotic" and "[w]hat the patient needs is work, work, and work" [2] to "return to a normal, active life" [3]. Thus, Sidis certainly did not employ any "rest cure" in his New Hampshire compound, making it perfectly appropriate to remove inaccuracies from the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chyren (talk • contribs)
[edit] Picture
I replaced the picture for a different one. The reason is the other was noisy. Does this one look ok? -- JonatasM 07:38, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Teaching methods
It may be instructive to include a section that describes his teaching methods, the ones used to rear his precocious son, William. Does anyone have sufficient resources to do so? Dylan Knight Rogers (talk) 22:43, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
