[quote=Anonymous]"The question should be whether or not the kids can keep up until the magnitude and significance of age-driven differences begin to level off (usually, for the classroom, that starts around the 4th grade). But those differences are more pronounced in test results than they are in the classroom. Test conditions allow for greater differentiation at the top end. In the classroom, there will always be a ceiling that acts as a limit to the highest performers. Think Doogie Howser. He'd ace the test, but no public classroom experience would come close to challenging his ceiling. So the younger bright 2nd graders that may have just missed the cut-off may well be better situated to keeping up with their peers than older second graders that just barely edged into the pool. " Actually, some of the biggest problems with the age differences occur in high school. [/quote]
