I suspect that that they know your child has mastered boredom when he or she no longer asks the teachers any questions, completes all assignments cheerfully and fits in so well in the class any talk of a skip is no longer recognized.

However, I will add, that although we never got a full grade skip, we did get enough of the teachers on board that DS did get some grade skips and special placements for his teachers. His gifted teacher is amazing with him. Other than that, DH and I decided to be the ones that get to challenge and intrigue him outside of school. Too bad it means he does double work. Once to keep the teachers happy and the rest to keep him happy.
