yes. people don't seem to understand that Piaget was the "beginning" of the science of cognition and development, not the "end". Things have come very far since then.
Besides, with "asynchronous development" the kid may very well be "too young" for some aspects of learning and "very advanced" in others.
I'm appalled that teachers and administrators are soooooooo far behind on gifted research.
At Mite's school, NONE had heard of the term "twice exceptional". The first person from the school district to mention it to me was the director of education for the whole district.
So, it is not a wonder that they don't understand asynchrony OR anything else for that matter.
Piaget's phases are sorta passe now. There are neo-Piagetians that have developed the theory even further, but really with all the new information coming in about neurological differences in learning, it's all going to be a moot point.
what is alek.com? I just tried to go to it, but nothing came up.
