How "Piaget" are you?

Children ought to advance in school with their same-aged peers.

Yes, if they can be provided supports for lagging skills.

Heck yeah!

No way!

If they are ready, sure. If not, give 'em time.

Children learn best when:

they interact with peers

they interact with their environment

they are provided explicit instruction

they are adequately self-regulated

How important are peer interactions for cognitive development?

Not at all.

A little, I suppose.

They support learning.

They are key to learning.

A child is four years old. Which activity are they ready for?

Reading

Math

Reading and Math

It depends on the child.

Will a 7 year-old who has never been to school understand conservation of numbers as well as a 7 year-old who has attended school?

Uh, yeah!

It is a lot less likely.

It depends on social and cultural factors.

Maybe not, but 50 pages of worksheets will sort them out.

You want a kid to learn how to bake cookies. You:

demonstrate and get them to repeat each step out loud.

Have them memorize the recipe and watch an instructional video. Promise them cookies first.

Show them once and let them figure it out from there.

Guide them through the process 2-3 steps at a time.

In typical development, everyone eventually reaches the formal operational stage of handling abstract and hypothetical thinking.

Heck no!

If they have suitably collaborated with peers and adults along the way

Yes, provided they have interacted with their environment enough.

Of course! We just show it in our own special ways.
