http://www.nationdeceived.org/
For the first time, the compelling research about acceleration is available to the public in a bold new initiative to get these findings into the hands of parents, teachers, and principals. The report is downloadable at this site; additional copies with no cost to schools, the media, and parents are available.
You’ll find information about entering school early, skipping grades in elementary school, the Advanced Placement program, and starting college ahead of time. You’ll read the comments of accelerated students, Deans of Colleges of Education, a school superintendent, and a school board member.
