I can see it, Kerry. While I think that a kid that's subject-matter advanced, properly taught, can of course learn new concepts, there are probably parents that do cram their kids full of rote learning.

I still think that the most likely explanations for the leveling-out idea are 1) it's an inaccurate but comfortable idea for some, and 2) kids can have their edges dulled by years of learning nothing new.
