any research on long term problems of grade skipping?? I know it is great to go to college early, but any research on these kids performed better than their less gifted kids ?
apologies for being pessimistic........the problem is negative aspects of this gifted education rarely become come to limelight
Versus the long term problems of sitting in classes which are completely too low level, bore you to tears, surround you with children who are not your peers and leave you with little motivation to go to school?
I have two children who have both been grade level accelerated, and one of them subject level accelerated by 3 years. Both will go to college one year sooner, but otherwise are finally challenged and enjoy school. It's been all positive.
I strongly suggest you read A Nation Deceived. It's free to download:
