I was thinking more starting Jr High to High school. Elementary is still elementary, and I’m really not convinced the disparity at the elementary level is that much of a big deal.[/quote]
I don’t think there’s much disparity in the first 3 years of school, but I think maybe from 3rd grade on, the disparity starts to amplify based on students’ capability and parents’ involvement. That’s why the GATE program start testing at 3rd grade. There are exception to to rule as well, w/ kids knowing how to read and do addition/subtraction at age 2-3.
