My wife and I have taught our daughter materials sometimes 2 grade levels above where she is. I think every child has the potential for genius. It is really how you present the material.
I taught a few classes last year on how to program in Scratch to grades 1-5. The 4th and 5th graders really loved it and they went off on their own to learn more. It was not a large sample, but I think presenting the right material in the right way to the right age makes a huge difference.
I have been thinking of ways to improve education. I think there is a huge potential in online video. If it is produced right in the sense of say "Hollywood" verse say Khan Academy, kids will enjoy it a lot more.
- wiseleo 6y agoRight. As much as I love Khan, there’s lots of room for improvement. It needs to be interesting. Watch Shadiversity and you’ll love history. :)
- tmaly 6y agoThanks for sharing, I have not heard of Shadiversity. I would recommend MrBettsClass channel for high school history. I wish there were more channels like this for a younger audience.
- myfriendslinky 6y agoCan you give us the framework you use on how you presented the material?
