My one thing is if you accelerate the fastest you have to make some kind of initiative to allow for some kind of counseling so they realize they are not to demand of themselves school and work responsibilities that most young adults aren't adept and balanced at successfully. It's about the emotional immaturity and early onset of health issues. Some won't slow down becaause they are so bright.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1741504605630732992.post-17422159344935620092008-09-11T13:37:00.000+07:002008-09-11T13:37:00.000+07:00Thanks TD; Horses for courses - abilities develop ...Thanks TD; Horses for courses - abilities develop at varying paces - when I was at school, we were all expected to keep pace with the fastest.Stan Skihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963655096635414472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1741504605630732992.post-67398726257304777252008-09-11T11:48:00.000+07:002008-09-11T11:48:00.000+07:00An excellent poem and point.

Saying that all students should receive the same curriculum is like saying that all men should wear a size 10 shoe. I know the analogy isn't perfect, but it's closer to the truth than most want to admit.TDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10411110456297096938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1741504605630732992.post-23389211429955834872008-09-10T09:52:00.000+07:002008-09-10T09:52:00.000+07:00Thanks preethi; it applies in many cases.Thanks preethi; it applies in many cases.Stan Skihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963655096635414472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1741504605630732992.post-28909077586475367202008-09-10T05:28:00.000+07:002008-09-10T05:28:00.000+07:00well said!!

A school were they can learn and choose what they want in their own pace and were they learn to thinb for themselves. I had to bring in some structure for my son but he is happy for the first timeMarjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17458942200244031009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1741504605630732992.post-36878013168597866082008-09-08T08:00:00.000+07:002008-09-08T08:00:00.000+07:00Thanks to:anthonynorth; School or life - others al...Thanks to:<BR/>anthonynorth; School or life - others always try to impose ideas.
