It's a good strategy if you want a one-year skip and the school is anti-skipping. Suggest two years, settle for one.

At our anti-skipping school, you'll immediately get dismissed by administration asking for a two year skip (and they'll probably have a good laugh when you leave). Asking for a one year skip gets placated. I don't know a single case of skipping in our large (700 students) elementary.

Not all schools are the same, but unless there's a very clear history and path for a single year skip, I'd stay away from asking for a double. A double skip also has a higher chance of success taken in two steps.

And it would scuttle your chances of being taken seriously about a one year skip. Worst case scenario the would do what ds9's year 2 teacher tvreatened and prove they didn't need a skip by setting them up to fail.

This is an anti-skip school.

The problem is you aren't making an offer. They don't want what you are selling.
