Hi,
My son's school (grades 8-12) plans to start grouping a "stream" of mathy kids with the musically talented (who are already placed in a class by audition).
It was stated that "musically talented kids are also gifted in math". This was stated as if it is a well known scientifically proven fact.
Does anyone know if this has been proven, or is it just "assumed"?
This does worry me. as a number of very mathematically gifted students I know, are not musically talented, I also know some very "verbal" kids who are talented musically. It is planned to offer the same advanced math program to the class, who have been identified through high math achievement, or musical ability.
Anyone have any comments?
Steph
