?  That belies a vindictive attitude on your part.

What it really is about is kids finding their own way at a later time.  Some kids are ready for more challenge in 2nd grade or 3rd grade.  Some need more time to develop and find that they have a lot of motivation and ability in 7th grade or 10th grade.  I have one who had the ability and drive from the get-go (preschool or before).  I have another who I am still waiting to find her drive in 8th grade.  I see other kids who weren't in AAP who are having an academic growth spurt in MS and they are taking the reins and zipping ahead.

Kids don't all grow physically at the same rate.  We shouldn't expect that they will all be intellectually growing at the same rate.  But, schools should meet those who are ready for challenge with opportunities (be that 2nd grade, 7th grade or 12 grade).[/quote]
