Honestly, I don't disagree with the author one bit. Except--

he's clearly describing his AVERAGE experience here.

He hasn't encountered very many EG/PG kids, I'll say that.

If he had, he would have a clearer picture in his mind about why "not sorting them out until 3rd or 4th grade" is not fine for those who ARE in point of fact HG+. You've already lost a good portion of those kids by then, as they have rapidly (just as they learn everything else!) come to the conclusion that "school" is a place you go to do what you're told and experience mind-numbing, punitive indoctrination about things that you have known for a long time.

So sure, that seems like a good plan, doesn't it? smirk The article is a fine on for average through MG children, probably. But not for the parents who find themselves on this forum, by and large.

Schrödinger's cat walks into a bar. And doesn't.
