[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would you send your kid to a suboptimal college? Anyone who can flees crappy schools. Do yourself and your kids a favor and leave now [/quote] +1. The achievement gap gets much bigger from 2nd grade on up. Most of the teachers time is spent working on bringing the bottom up. Your above grade level kid will not have a peer group. Giving worksheets or computer games with harder problems to the child is less than ideal as compared to having a similar peer group and being taught higher level academics.[/quote] This is not a universal experience. My above-grade-level kid does have a peer group, and when they have mastered a concept, the teacher encourages them to deepen their understanding and practice explaining it to the other kids.[/quote] Which school is this? Would love to see credit given where earned![/quote]
