If your kids are ahead of their age peers in school and officials are holding back on acceleration, "A Nation Deceived" might help. This comprehensive report compiles research and debunks many of the myths about acceleration.

If you are a school official and think acceleration is not advisable in most cases, please challenge yourself and read "A Nation Deceived".

"There has never been a study that showed a negative result of acceleration. By contrast, there may even be positive effects to the social and emotional development of accelerants." Lynn Pollins (read the whole article at http://www.davidsongifted.org/db/Articles_id_10017.aspx)
