This Education Prodigy Is Challenging The K12 System

BOSTON - Jan. 22, 2018 - PRLog -- Amareen Dhaliwal, a Punjabi native, is studying medicine at Boston University School of Medicine. She entered graduate school as the youngest in her class but became the center of local attention due to her claims in education. She has presented at Harvard Medical School at the annual FLE conference for academics on the psychosocial impact of grade skipping which brought about hesitance at the conference.  Having started college at the age of 15, she was covered by large medical organizations regarding how to succeed in experience to enter medical school as early as the age of 18. "Education should be at the student's pace" she says in one of her famous youtube videos, noting how slow grade school is for students both gifted and simply bored. Millions of kids are diagnosed with ADHD and millions are claimed to be gifted, but where do these kids go? Is watching magic school bus and reading rainbow really the best way to spend a childs day? Her blogs and research claim that the future of education is near. That parent's wont be planning their jobs and day around the 2 hour traffic haul while panicking over the next absence and suspension threat. The biggest proponent of grade skipping is on how a young girl manage to plan for a successful, educated future while also running a household and family without "missing out on life". While expressing interest in the field of fertility and family planning, Amareen aims to first take time to pursue a PhD in gifted education to organize better resources for young girls interested in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math). She claims to have a same-day solutions for parents in this situation.

   It takes more than a village to raise a child. And it takes more than a good teacher to have a child skip a grade. How, many parent-researchers thought, can grade skipping be good for up to 10% of the child population? It turns out that the government spends up to $11,000 per year on a child's education. Still, over a million children in California alone are performing at a grade level higher. It turns out that simply skipping 1 year won't harm a child's psychosocial development. In fact, hundreds of articles claim that it does the opposite. Children who advance a grade feel challenged but also proud to be performing high while being acknowledged for their academic skills.

These same children also are most socially adaptable and thus can fit in with higher peer groups as long as they get outside exposure with similar grade-groups. They even score higher on exams and facilitate independence! Having the million or so Californian kids skip a grade would actually save California tax payers billions (do the math!). With easy same-day online courses such as Key Stone Academy, (http://www.keystoneschoolonline.com) and free online schools such as K12 learning, kids can begin skipping a grade tomorrow. While challenges in at home care may exist, a child can enroll in some classes while still a student by doing such homework after school. This can let a student stay in a real school while skipping a grade and not having to take placement exams that are nearly never accurate for a student. As parents, we need to push for our kids future, and Amareen Dhaliwal may be the next Gifted counselor or physician you meet guiding you kid there.
