I have sent a half dozen street cdeihrln to school at ages 10 - 12. I would not describe these cdeihrln as more than normally intelligent but they generally performed as well as their peers within a few months. They usually completed the primary school curriculum (6 years) in two or three years. Most of these kids started in primary 3 at age ten/eleven and were promoted to primary 5 or 6 at the end of their first year.
