In case it may be of interest, here is a roundup of threads discussing grade-skipping or acceleration... both PROs and CONs (http://giftedissues.davidsongifted....ration_Roundup_grade_ski.html#Post248163). The purpose of sharing a link to this thread is to underscore what another member posted upthread... acceleration may alleviate some problems and give rise to others.

For all persons, of any intellect, developing resilience may be key. Resilience and the ability to bounce back and/or direct our growth in new directions is important because all people will experience setbacks of one form or another.
