[quote=Anonymous]Not a holding back scenario (because of shifting cut-offs), but DD and I both have same birthday and she's a year behind where I was in school at the same age. I worried she'd be bored, but it's been a non-issue. Basically, with very bright kids, you'd have to go multiple years ahead to get them to fall middle of the pack academically, at which point you'd have even bigger social issues and academics could still be unchallenging -- even if you start at the same place, if you learn much faster, then the pace seems slow. So find a school where there's a rich curriculum, small class sizes, and opportunities to go further or deeper depending on interest and abilities. It's easier to tweak/supplement the academics than the social interactions. [/quote]
