<p>I read these posts with interest. I am firmly in the non-acceleration camp. My son was probably a candidate for early college etc…, but I believed that he would be better off attending a traditional high school. It really does come down to your child and your beliefs. For PG kids, there is not a one size fits all solution. There is a saying, “if you have met one PG kid, you have met one PG kid.” Going into high school, he was basically a loner; but managed to flourish socially in HS. He was even voted prom king. I think his social growth was just as important as his intellectual growth. Some of his classes were intellectually challenging, some not so much; but, he always was able to find a balance that worked for him. As some of the other posters commented, he had plenty of time left over for music, ECs, hanging with his friends. Hopefully, we as parents know our children well enough to provide the environment for them that allows them to grow both as individuals and intellectuals. :)</p>
