Thanks sunny_mom and everyone else who's commented on what I said.
I've done a small informal survey of bright people I know, and almost all of them have told me that they had problems developing study skills after coasting through elementary. I know I did, and it's hardly surprising if you never had to work to do well.
I guess it just really stinks that the school system has become so rigid. Sometimes I wonder what schools would say if someone tried to force them to group kids on sports teams strictly by age, with no varsity or JV groups! Why is this so obvious and so okay with sports but not in other areas?
