Apparently DD's grade skip was being discussed at her lunch table the other day at her new school. One of the children said "I'd rather be in my grade in the high-level classes, than in the next grade up in the lower-level classes". My DD told me that she didn't say anything at that point, although it did occur to her to point out that she was in the highest level classes available to her grade (and after-schooling even more). I told her that was probably exactly the right thing to do as it seems to be a fine line between being confident and boasting (especially to the audience). I said it's tricky because "you don't want to hide your light under a bushel".
She said, without missing a beat, "yeah, but you don't want to shine it in their eyes, either".
