Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy Radical acceleration down the road - any regrets?

I notice that very few of you appear to consider learning more foreign languages and/or spending a year abroad as an exchange student as a deceleration option, rather than early college classes, online options, dual enrolment etc. Is that rather a European thing? Or do you feel it would be too hard finding the right learning environment abroad, seeing that it is so hard to find in ones own country?
