Did you read the abstract? I’ll quote here: “Concerns about long-term social/emotional effects of acceleration for high-potential students appear to be unwarranted, as has been demonstrated for short-term effects.” The general finding in the gifted research community is that grouping academically gifted students with their intellectual peers instead of their age peers is overall a better experience. Yes, there will be some issues with asynchronous development, but forcing students to spend their days with students who are not able to work on their level also leaves scars.
