What's sad is that a single year grade skip is so "rare" in their elementary school. It's hard to believe it was really enough for them at the time - obviously since that time they accelerated through a couple years' worth of math if they managed to be in geometry in 7th grade (it looks like their age was sixth grade at the time that they took geometry - must have been 11, I guess).
I have twin first graders who are kinda 2E and, as far as we can tell, merely MG. If my 2E boys were in a traditional classroom, even they would need a bigger grade skip, now, in order to keep making progress with math than the boys in the article were originally granted.
Good for the boys in the article; it sounds like they're doing fantastically well now.
