That excuse drove me nuts.
1) My kid does not have to be the most deserving of a skip for a skip to still be warranted. This isn't the olympics where you are limited to only 3 medals to hand out.
2) Maybe you should consider talking with the parents of the other kids about acceleration, instead of trying to use those kids as a road block.

Sorry, just having flash backs to my DD14's kindergarten principal...

For gifted children, doing nothing is the wrong choice.
