DS6 is being radically acce;erated to 4th next year. The people that know him understand why it's being done. The people that don't, draw their own conclusions. I think that because it's multi grades rather than just one grade level has made it easier in a way. A single grade skip causes the competitive/envious streak in some people. Multi grade skipping is so far out of the realm of possibility for most people that they just mentally label my son as a "freak of nature" and let it go.

My DS for his part just tells people it's because he's completed all of the other grades.
