[edit] Social maturity versus intellectual maturity

I added back the sentence on difficulties with social maturity. This is because students usually skip grades because of their intellectual maturity, but this does not necessarily go along with their social maturity. Also, while it may be best in many cases for students to wait until they're socially mature enough for the next grade, this is not always the practice, and is a potential source of problems for the student. I think it's best to mention this in the article.

I'm trying to find some good sources for this right now, and I'll add them in when I get them. Pyrospirit (talk · contribs) 19:56, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
