[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kids are so gifted, why not skip a grade? [/quote] 1. My son is already one of the youngest in his grade. As a summer birthday boy, he was sent on time, whereas many of his classmates were held back. 2. Social immaturity often accompanies giftedness, or social maturity may be on par with age but well below intellectual ability 3. In my son's immersion school, they believed kids could not handle grade acceleration because they had not been taught the language vocabulary covered in the previous grade. Never mind that a kid who can advance a grade might just be able to learn at a rate far more rapid than average. 4. Social ostracism. "You skipped a grade? You're five, you're a baby!"[/quote]
