[quote=Anonymous]Kids enter schools with all different levels of both knowledge and ability. By the nature of our school system the focus is on those who are on the lower or mid end of that spectrum. A child who comes in with either higher levels of knowledge or ability is left to their own devices. Enrichment won't make my kid bored, my kid is already bored so enrichment provides the challenge they don't get in school. Sometimes early stage "enrichment" is the basics like coming from a household that has read to the child since birth or taught them how to count. Some kids more readily pick up those basics organically in their early years and so are ready for more by the time they enter kindergarten. If the school never really meets them where they are, it's not fair to let them stagnate if as a parent you have the means to provide that challenge.[/quote]
