Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Educating all gifted and talented children of the same age together has become popular in the US as a method of providing specialized education to these students. This allows them to be challenged and engaged at their level and also helps to prevent feelings of isolation or being different from their peers.  Segregating students by their gifts and talents to form mixed-age groups (D) is not as common and can also have negative social effects on gifted students. Intense parental tutoring (A) may not be feasible for all families and can also put too much pressure on the child. Home schooling (B) may not provide enough opportunities for socialization and may not provide specialized education in areas where the parent may not have expertise.
