La Taxican, thank you very much for the article. Cannot agree with it more. Very help.

Frannieandejsmom, You brought in a great point that they want kids to be at the top of a class. The principal said if my dd advanced, she would always be the very young in the classroom in her whole life. She said it would be very bad. I really didn't see why not.

Currently in her class, other kids are learning counting the numbers, she already two digits addition and subtraction. Other kids are learning letters, she started to write her own stories. Her teacher feels hard to keep her up.

I think your kid is in progressive learning environment, where kids are encouraged to move in their own pace. Maybe, we need to find such a school.
