Perhaps, but they also shouldn't be artificially held back. Life doesn't have a speed limit.
>If a student is so great that they're skipping out of boredom then there's little that a public institution should do to help them.
This doesn't follow at all. Why wouldn't you want to invest in the people with the most potential?
- trgn 3y ago> shouldn't be artificially held back. but are they? It seems like every school district has magnets, AP tracks, relationship with community colleges, extracurriculars, skipping a year,... for the smart ones.
- _dain_ 3y agoWe don't have "school districts" here nevermind any of that other stuff. Skipping a year is practically unheard of. There were "gifted and talented" programmes but those were just holding pens, there was no serious attempt to teach more advanced material
- trgn 3y agooki thx, I guess I don't have a clear idea of the wide range in how public schools are organized.
