OT: how disruptive is for kids to change school districts?

[UCGal]

[quote=eavesdropper][quote=Rustico] I almost started a thread on the topic of moving the child up, so this thread is interesting to me.[/quote]

Rustico, what’s this “almost” stuff? Go ahead and start one. I, too, think it’s a discussion-worthy topic, and almost sure to generate some intriguing discourse within the Piggs feedlot.

Go for it!![/quote]
ITA. I’d like to hear arguments for/against. At the moment we’re just loading him up with high level academic work at home and working with his teacher on boredom issues.

My wife and I have already decided (with kids at age 3 and 9 mo) that if the issue ever comes up, we’re keeping them with their own age group. To us, emotional health is far more important than the prestige of the school name hanging in your den, and definitely more important than monetary success. Besides, they’ll have their whole lives to learn.

I don’t know how that. Why would you want to retard your children if they can move on to the next grade?

I graduated from 4-year university at 19. My earlier education abroad was far superior to American high-school education (especially in math and English writing) I was more advanced than other kids my age upon returning to America.

I don’t think that I was precocious or smarter than my American peers. I just had a better education.

Having said that, I believe that at the Masters level and above, American education is far superior.

Of course it depends on the child, but something else to consider – super smart kids sometimes already feel alienated and/or are a little socially inept. In that case, I think bumping them up would only make things worse. You could end up with an adult who is uncomfortable in any situation that doesn’t involve studying.
