[quote=Anonymous]From this seat, that isn't "maturity." It's a kid who isn't struggling because they're too old for their grade, so it's easy - and also, who APPEARS more mature than their classmates because...well, they're more "mature" in the sense that they're just OLDER than the other kids in their grade. It's an optical illusion that parents like because it makes them feel like their kid is a genius rather than average, or slightly below it. I guess teaching kids that the secret to a life of confidence and ease is to avoid difficult challenge and only take on assignments where they're on a glide path is one way to go. Not my choice for a resilience development technique, but ymmv.[/quote]
