Exhibit A was being told by preschool DD was ready for K, but was still a year away from going.
Exhibit B was Kindergarten being an academic waste of time. Thank goodness we put her in piano that year or she would have learned nothing.
Exhibit C - during K, the solution to her being ahead was to send her to the library for harder reading than the Dr. Seuss she was getting, coupled with her acing (computer tests after each book) the harder reading they were allowing. (BYW - I love Dr. Seuss, DD was just beyond this level by K).
At the end of K, we decided enough was enough and began exploring a grade skip. Testing soon followed.
For DD, there was no thought to testing for any disabilities or behavioral issues as it was pretty clear she has none.
