[quote=Anonymous]The K-8 boys also differentiate, which almost nowhere does, but is actually the best model for smart children. Social peers with a teacher who provides challenge. The K-12 red shirt so many kids it means the one who can do the work young are socially battered and miserable and expected to act older younger, which is the exact opposite way gifted education works well. The pressure to mature at the girls schools starts in like 3rd grade and dictates the culture of the entire place. It’s actually not good academically to red shirt because the kid is always comparing themselves to peers who are actually younger so they hit a wall starting in middle. Probably won’t do single sex boys for high but everyone i know at my son’s school is happy, and everyone i know at my daughter’s K-12 feels lucky to be there but is unhappy. [/quote]
