[quote=Anonymous]Taught in a school where there was an exceptionally gifted kid who was skipped ahead a grade from third to fourth. He was placed in a fourth/fifth split. The teacher loved him and the kids were nice to him, but he was treated more like a "mascot" than a student. He did not fit in. And, he was still the brightest and most advanced in the class. My personal opinion: he would have been better off left with his age peers. He was not able to develop social skills. Granted, with his intellect, there was no great place for him. As a teacher, I know of a couple of other similar situations, but not as drastic as this one. There are exceptions to every rule, but, kids are better with their age peers for the most part.[/quote]
