angiography: Private secondary schools give double promotion to some brilliant students as some can jump from js1 to js3 so this could be a reason and I remember in the universities a decade ago, a boy of 16 came for clearance and be admitted into the school, the clearing officer asked him how old is he, he said 16 and the officer told him that he was too young.

MsNas: like you said.. not all kids can handle it.. Parents put a lot of pressure on kids when it comes to education and the stakes are high.. school fees are astronomical and they typically want them in a university as early as possible. all these go into pushing the kid beyond his natural abilities.. the brain is young and sharp, it will adapt, but the mind won't it is still a kid 1 Like 1 Share |

tennyson10: What he means is the kid would pay the price of being brilliant. There is a reason why life is in stages and skipping some stages can be harmful though in most cases not disastrous. More often than not, they become socially awkward and their interpersonal skills are stunted. It doesn't matter nowadays because the geeks are the rock stars of today. Everything is measured by dollar signs. But, that being said, it would be very difficult to measure genius in a country like Nigeria where the educational system is disastrous to say the least. People go to college, but the college never passes through them. Look at the topic for instance. The OP sees it as ok to use "alright" in place of "right". As if they have the same meaning. 3 Likes |

Some kids develop psychologically faster than others. Nevertheless, they're below the acceptably recognised age of entry into jss particularly the smaller one. |

glossy6: if you notice they are kind of sharp and intelligent so that could warrant the big push by their parent seeing they are the smartest in their class in primary school. presently I know a girl that was taken from pri 4 to JS 1, and she is just 10 years old. Guess that's the new trend, naija our country |

@OP, please tell me why not? Must you waste the best years of their life? The school curriculum is designed so that those at the lowest end of the learning curve can get into university by sixteen. Many of them still don't and not because of the curriculum but due to individual failings. Some actually want to play as much as those in the top ten percent! So keeping the child to their pace is actually a bad idea because the brilliant ones will have a lot of time to play with and they might end up becoming what no sane parent wants - nuisance and maybe even criminal. If you allow a faster pace, supervise the child and make sure they get adequate play time for their age. Whatever you do, remember that your kids will be competing in an even more globalized marketplace than you are. In many countries, children are becoming professors and doctors under 21 years! Good luck! 2 Likes |

Is possible in Nigeria, not possible in USA. In USA the school system is different and is based on age The junior school in USA is like the JSS in Nigeria. You cannot start 6th grade ( JSS1 in Nigeria) until you turn 11, also a kid cannot start 9th grade until 14 years of age in USA. USA senior high school is 4 yrs I.e 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grade. |

This at some point in their life will affect them...going to school does not only mean reading tons of books and passing. how do you expect someone dat small to cope with his large counterparts. In my opinion, it's not adviceable. I was brilliant but my mother refuse me skipping classes because she knew wht was in it. #respect a mother's intuition. 1 Like |
