their peers. The educational material and tools such as toys, books and games that are used in the classrooms to educate children has been predetermined by a board of educators, but what happens when a child is too advanced for the educational tools or materials being used in that grade and when is it appropriate to give the child more advanced educational tools to use? Because some children are more advanced than others in development and learning, the guidelines for what educational materials and
