From my own experiences, most "gifted" students are actually from middle or upper class families, and their parents are usually well-educated and very interested in the education of their own children. This will positively affect the "psychological well-being" of those kids, and likely also negate many negative impacts of academic acceleration.
Plus, acceleration is really unnecessary these days. There's no shortage of information on the internet, so why bother rushing into universities? Just let kids find and follow their passion.
- slantaclaus 6y agoI once did a pretty broad GIS analysis looking at different kinds of data related to census block groups in conjunction with published standardized test scores and the correlation between income and education is practically a straight line. Money and Education are a chicken and egg problem in terms of causality.
