There was a study linked here before that showed that while older children of the same grade do better up to high school, younger children do better in college and life beyond. A theory being that the difficulties younger children face in schooling better prepare them for the real world.
So what do you optimize for?
- Swizec 11y agoWill the difficulties they face when they're younger impact their grades and in turn impact which colleges will accept them? If yes, optimize for that not to happen. If no, optimize for difficulty. It's probably impossible to predict what will happen on an individual level, these sorts of statistics are useful mostly on a populational level. Good luck.
