[quote=Anonymous][quote] As for the teacher with the anecdote on the boy skipping a grade, a highly smart child will often have issues in the early school years because he may not have a peer in the whole elementary school. And given how rare his talent level is, most teachers may never meet one in her whole career. Many truly talented people won't have a true peer group until college years, or at least high school. So no wonder he struggled, he would have struggled not having skipped too. It can even be argued that he was not challenged enough even with a single grade skip. [/quote] I'm the teacher with the anecdote. I agree with what you say--I was not his teacher, though. I do not think he would have "fit in" anywhere in that school. However, he did not benefit from being skipped. [/quote]
