[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of my best high school friends and I were both held back for "social" reasons in early elementary. I think it ended up seriously alienating her from school. I did better, but my predominate memory of elementary school is being excruciatingly bored. Now I have a kid who will be in the younger quarter of the class, and because of this experience, there's no way I will hold him back. [/quote] Forgot to add that my friend and I are both probably in the "gifted" category (as defined around here -- not truly gifted!) Perfect scores on SAT sections, etc. My friend probably has the most brain power of anyone I know. The holding back was purely for social reasons. Turns out we are both just sort of misanthrope introverts, so I'm not sure holding back really did anything on that front! [/quote]
