[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]You are the only pretender here. Are you in the head of the 7-year-old who is feeling stupid when he realizes how much older he is by third grade? It appears you are also in the head of his peers who will think he is stupid? How do you know how 3rd graders think? "I hear my friends...he said ... she said ... logic". It appears you have identical thoughts to third graders; thus, probably paranoid schizophrenia with hallucinations or someone with a similar budding level of intellectual accomplishment.

.....and stop diagnosing people. Don't be mad. Let's just be honest about all this.[/quote]

I shall only if you stop speaking for 3rd Graders and their peers.  Are you a 3rd Grader?  Why do you think the older 3rd grader and peers will all think the older kid is stupid?  This is what the parents think and say  --- or indoctrinate their children with.  Most of these kids only parrot what their parents say in the car pool lane.  So much for your multiple master degrees in psychology?[/quote]

When I was 5 in the first grade, I recall the older children starting to notice we were different ages. By the time we reached third grade, younger children and older children began segregating themselves, based on the fact the older children had lower scores and anwered questions more slowly in class. Without anyone ever saying it, it was clear many of the much older children were not as bright academically and they had some social shortcomings. I remember older children losing interest in school, because they were not being accomodated appropriately, too.

I see it at my daughter's school, too. Kids know who the slower, older children are; and they talk about it. Like it or not, no matter what you teach or preach at home, children have a world and life outside of you.
