Even though some of our students and kids may be mature and work well, even up to skipping grades, some of them may have only age-appropriate freedoms rather than grade-appropriate freedoms.
For example some teachers may recommend doing most of the organisation for the kid for "maturity" reasons even if a transition may be in the kid's better interest.
The student may also feel unfree if they are working at a much higher level and yet merely have the freedoms of kids that they don't relate to.
How do you deal with this problem? Do you let them have freedoms at their grade level? Date earlier? Not mind as much if they smoke/drink yet somewhat discouraging it? Still giving them a support system to show how more freedom doesn't necessarily mean you as a parent will leave them out to dry in case issues occur?
