Thanks for great responses, everyone!
And lest we forget the
real reason for why grade skips just can't happen: it's because the world --- nay, the entire solar system --- will come to a fiery cataclysmic end if a five-year-old is allowed to enter first grade. We're talking an event that will make the Permian extinction look, you know, like the loss of a minor toe fungus. We're talking about the sun swelling to several times its normal size and swallowing up Venus in the process. From here, our sun would be a giant red mass filling the sky --- that is, if there was anyone left to look at it.
All because of a pushy parent.And I think you are all very selfish for even
suggesting that giving your child a more appropriate learning environment is more important than the continued existences of Mercury and Venus.
I am, I am Superman, and I know what's happening...
