[quote=Anonymous]I did this for my gifted son with a summer birthday. I had him in a Montessori school through 3rd grade but had him enter 2nd in public. He qualified for the gifted program for both 3rd and 2nd, and I had him put in 2nd. He also has a language based learning disability that makes it very hard for him to express himself verbally. I have read that 2e kids take longer for their prefrontal cortex to develop, and I didn’t see any harm... only benefit... to putting him in 2nd. He’s doing well socially and academically now that he is in 5th grade. I am very glad to have made the decision. I also want to mention that I see school as more of a socially educational environment (especially in elementary school) than an academically educational environment. I also see “doing school” as a separate skill set. Your case is different because your child is older, however. [/quote]
