The Nation Deceived: How Schools Hold Back America’s Brightest Students
Nicholas Colangelo, Susan G. Assouline, Miraca U. M. Gross (2004)
America’s schools routinely avoid academic acceleration, the easiest and most
effective way to help highly capable students. While the popular perception is
that a child who skips a grade will be socially stunted, fifty years of research
shows that moving bright students ahead often makes them happy. This report
shows that these reasons frequently given for avoiding acceleration are simply
not supported by research. By distributing thousands of copies and launching a
public-awareness campaign, the Nation Deceived report provides teachers and
parents the knowledge, support, and confidence to consider acceleration.
A copy of this book can be downloaded free of charge from the website. Hard
copy orders are also available from time to time.
