Exactly so. Both of my children were advanced in different ways when
they went to kindergarten. Both were bright. Both were given
differentiated instruction and this was back in the mid-70s. My dgd
has been tested as having completed the K curriculum here so they put
her in a group with others who are similarly advanced and will
continue to give her new things from the first grade curriculum. I am
sure that if they have a child who is more advanced, they would
continue on from where s/he tests.
