[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look up greenshirting if you have a gifted child.[/quote] A greenshirted gifted child is going to have a hard to time getting recognized for their intelligence. If they're developmentally a year ahead but are learning alongside kids a year older them, they're not going to do any better than them, which will create the illusion that they have average intelligence.[/quote] And I would think this experience of being “average” would be good for a gifted child. If you are the smartest kid in the class from day one of K, good luck avoiding the pressure that comes with that expectation. A gifted kid who is young but advanced doesn’t have to be the smartest in the class until a few years in. I’d think that might be a plus.[/quote]
