it's not ok that grade skipping is the only option for kids who are advanced. It's not appropriate for many intellectually advanced kids (2E, asynchronous, peer leaders, sibling issues.....), and is more of a last resort
I fear skipping will remain the solution of choice for schools because it creates the least burden on the school economically.
If I had one wish for schools, it would be that subjects be scheduled across levels at the same time. Public schools have the economies of scale to make this happen successfully from the earliest years. It boggles my mind that age is still the criterion against which "ability" is sorted. I believe our current system does a disservice to all children by not addressing individual ability across subjects adequately, whether NT or GT.
