The Academic Acceleration of Gifted Children

Whether to admit a student into school earlier than the mandated age or advance a student ahead of his or her chronological peers remains for educators, parents, and students alike an issue of continuing concern and debate. This book provides a major review of the history and background issues surrounding this topic, past and present research, and the state of the implementation of accelerative practices in American schools as of the date of its publication in 1991.
