OK I went back and read the discussion you linked to. It seems clear the issues referred to are a reflection of the individual school. My daughter received an excellent foundation in grammar and math and even after skipping a grade in public school has continued to thrive. I have read here that Montessori has been a poor fit for some gifted kids and think the reasons why are worth researching and understanding when making a decision. But it can be a wonderful solution for gifted kids even through elementary school.
