[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's only partially about a more challenging curriculum. It's also about being in class with kids who learn at the same pace and don't need as much repetition, so more of the curriculum can be covered in the same amount of time. Also, it's nice to be with kids who don't make fun of you for being smart and liking to read.

:roll:   Kids make fun of other kids for all kinds of things.  Yes, even in AAP.  [/quote]

Sure, but being made fun of for being smart can have a chilling effect on kids. Being with a peer group makes a big difference, and being able to learn at a faster pace with less repetition makes a huge difference to the kids that need it.

Second, first and kindergarteners made fun of your kid?[/quote]
It sounds like you'd be surprised at the age that kids learn to make fun of others. And the age at which they start feeling jealousy.

I'm speaking from experience, but I moved from Florida to Northern Virginia in third grade. Seems like the parents in this area raised their kids better :P Still doesn't change the fact that 6-year-olds [i]can[/i] feel jealousy and [i]can[/i] know how to make fun of their peers.[/quote]

No, I'm surprised kids that age made fun of her kid for being smart.  Never seen a 5 year old say, "You can read?  What's up with YOU?!"  Ridiculous.  And the poster who said that corrected herself, anyway.[/quote]
