Alas, the "form" is on the computer, and the choices were from a drop-down menu. I'm still in shock.
At least you know what you are getting into. I would try to contact someone 'higher up' again and again. It's possible that whoever programmed the form wasn't creating that barrier on purpose and that the people at a high enough level to matter have no idea that this barrier is there.
This is a pretty good example of why, with all of the disadvantages of grade skipping, I prefer it to 'enrichment.' Human behavior is very prone to 'trotting down the same old path' even when conditions are quite unique.
Love and More Love,
