Research suggests – and parents and children corroborate – that for many highly able children the curriculum in a regular school moves too slowly or is ‘out-of-synch’ with the student’s learning needs. In Australia the greater majority of gifted or intellectually able children are educated in regular schools and in grade-for-age classrooms. For some high potential students (certainly not the majority) the school may offer a ‘differentiated curriculum,’ they may suggest a single subject acceleration or even a year level acceleration. It is this last which seems to engender the greatest discomfort to educators and causes the most heated debate. Parents – it must be said – do not always understand why this is the case.
