[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At what age does this balance out? [/quote] Someone who learns quickly will keep learning quickly, so I wouldn't look at it this way. On the other hand, there are definitely kids who are not ready to read in kindergarten but will zoom ahead in the early years. So the groupings of kids will vary over the coming years. We certainly enriched outside of the classroom, but we did so in the areas our kids were interested in, rather than trying to mirror the school curriculum or get a jump on it. If my kid was fascinated in butterflies but the school wasn't getting to that topic until the next year, we'd read a ton on butterflies regardless. But most of the time we were checking out books on whatever topics we wanted. If my kids were bored when the school got to that topic, so be it. [/quote]
