[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you for that voice of reason

There is 0 reason for any kid/ family to be doing things at home to accelerate.

If the kid is extremely smart they should just skip a grade.  The obsession of thinking so many kids are bored and need more challenging content is ridiculous

In the real world no one cares when you took algebra.[/quote]

I am not going to ask the school to skip my kid a grade when he is the youngest kid in his class. Social skills and socialization is pretty important. I can more easily meet his academic needs with enrichment then I can deal with his social needs by having him in a higher level grade.

i don’t care when he takes algebra, if I did I would have him skip grades. [/quote]

Yeah. Skipping a grade is stupid.

Every person I know who did it- regrets it. Not because they weren’t smart enough. But because puberty sucks.  And if you’re 12 when everyone else is 13 or 14- it’s horrible. And that’s not counting the girls I knew who were basically having sex at 14 because they were juniors and had skipped a grade and were already for young for their grade.

AAP is miles better than grade skipping grades. [/quote]
