The year before my son's skip, those 2 teachers got him and bent over backwards to do what they needed to do for him. The next year, year of my son's skip, those 2 receiving teachers were so accepting and his biggest cheerleaders. One became a new dad and saw me in the library and was asking me about my early parenting (not asking if I hot housed but more looking for advice).

But I feel a tiny bit of not retaliation per say but more an attitude that eh he isn't as hot stuff as everyone thinks he is. And what is funny is he thinks that he could have skipped this grade too and that fifth grade curriculum isn't as hot stuff as they think it is. So the feeling is mutual.
