Hmmm. I was skipped and hated it because it was socially disruptive. I went from feeling like I could be myself in my old class to needing to hide who I was because the smart kids in my new class resented me. So I hid.

DS, OTOH, was not skipped and has never hidden his abilities from anyone. He is in 7th in an ordinary Public School and is thriving and happy, engaged and learning. You'll have to take my word for this, of course, but if you met him, I am sure that you would have no doubts about his love of life and learning.

Which is all just to say that you really can't make generalities about our kids. There are too many variables. Not that we can't learn from each others' stories, of course.
