Guys,
I may have an emergency meeting with the district superintendent tomorrow AM at very short notice. We are requesting acceleration to 4th grade (2nd just concluded). We have used the IOWA Accleration Scale and DD fits the bill.
School has pushed back citing social developmental issues. I am looking for articles showing well documented and scientifically rigorous studies that suggest that SD issues are actually made worse by NOT accelerating and in some cases are the cause of them due to asynchronous development.
Will be working late tonight so if you guys can help in parallel until I can pore the web freely I would be grateful.
Thanks in advance!
