[quote=Anonymous]Being smart and advanced is not always a good thing in ES since there is only so much teachers can do to differentiate. Most schools have mixed group classes so unless there are many students on your kid's level, your kid won't get much attention. My son started kindergarten reading on a 3rd-grade level. He was never instructed on his level, not even close. They would only instruct one grade level above so he spent most of ES just reading books on his own. His teachers met with his group once a week so maybe 20 minutes. All of that independent reading did help though. He improved his own reading level from year to year. By third grade, he was reading on a 9th-grade level. He's in HS now. Honors English and history and AP for both next year.[/quote]
