That does seem very likely to be true. I also think full skips call less attention to a kid than subjects acceleration - which can be a pro or a con depending on the kid. Of course some kids need both full and subject skips...

I wonder how the other 3 kids did. Gradeskips may be rare in your district, but they are much much less rare than our district (1/3 years!)

Yippee!
