Also, I agree with long term goals being the same...I want independent, self sufficient adults. Maybe it's because we're likely "just" an MG family but our biggest challenge academically is just pushing for a bit if differentiation every year but generally keeping them in their grade. I think dd7 would have done well one grade ahead but it also wasn't too critical. It mostly works if our school lets me assign them their own math homework so they aren't stuck doing basic addition at home, but I keep them in their grade level class so they don't miss any crucial math skills I may have skipped over.
It's very possible that they are more gifted than we realize, given dd7's spontaneous reading at 2 and the way Ds6 problem solves, but it isn't something that's too important for us to figure out.
