Other providers also offer Socratic discussions. Learning how to incorporate methodologies like those promoted by Bloom's Taxonomy or via Socratic dialogue does not require a specialized tutor or program. Parents are capable of independently providing their children educations which fully encompass higher order thinking skills. Sadly, most classes (even college classes) are only designed to impart information (input), and skip the next stage (processing) where real learning and thinking take place]Those are blanket statements and stereotypes. They offer an opportunity for a dialectic community, which is a rare offering. I'm old and sleep deprived so don't rely on my recollections, but if you have sway with cc and think they might be missing out by having age restrictions I urge you to look into this further. Ok, did my best to remember what I could. It just hasn't impressed me or looked like a good fit for my family. It will more likely result in the outliers and deviants (in a good way here) looking elsewhere. Brick and mortar schools or cc set restrictions on age. I have met a 7 year old with deeper abstract thinking skills than many 15 year olds (not my kid I'm talking about). Age banding is truly disastrous for some kids who can be from either category. I am grateful that there are so many education options for the vast variety of learners out there. There is a continuum with outliers and there are differently developing brains. :) I also recall that a high iq due to high working memory was not placed in the same grouping as other profiles of gifted, but seen as closer to nt. I recall being promised that we would have awesome teens. The 'golden ages' of childhood for nt kids were more often tumultous years among gt kids, those same gt kids then made for easier teens. What i recall as take home: MRIs showed developmental differences. (Gifted_Brain)_Ch1.pdf I just did a quick search. I can look further, but this link has the gist of some of what she talked about- pages 3,4. The presenter may have been a psychologist or neuropsychologist or neurologist. It looks like they have moved away from their initial vision. As someone indicated earlier, the reason Leigh chose to call the levels Challenge was so that the parent could place a child where they would thrive best. Sadly, most classes (even college classes) are only designed to impart information (input), and skip the next stage (processing) where real learning and thinking take place.Īs for the age requirement, I am sad that that the company has chosen to take on such a rigid all or nothing requirement. This is the very reason why, while I don't agree with everything CC does, I can support their methods. It enables us to learn new information and encounter new ideas. This is what I love about dialogue and debate within community. Yeah, I knew it was too small of a sampling (thus the grain of salt comment), but alas I can only comment from my experience, and the information I have studied/trained on. And I still haven't seen a good argument for how CC is "classical.' It just isn't the cat's meow for everyone. That doesn't mean CC isn't a great thing for some families. The age requirement is Brand New for this fall. I do think there are probably some early bloomers in CC - but those kids are being weeded out by the age requirements even if they aren't already self-selecting to not be included. Heart gave one example as to why the small sample of homeschooled kids in CC might not have the 'early bloomer' types. My daughter would point out that this is an example of a hasty generalization fallacy.
