If a 6yo can score an 80% on a 4th grade reading comprehension test, that child should be able to handle a 4th grade reading curriculum, not necessarily placed in a 4th grade class
I agree.
I would rather see higher level curriculum offered to students while they remain officially in their age appropriate grade level (by offering �honors� programs beginning with elementary students and/or through multiple subject acceleration). This would allow more advanced students the equivalent of a regular college level liberal arts education by end of high school- better utilizing their right to a free and appropriate education until age18.
This would help level the field for students whose parents cannot provide access to stronger schools.
