Haha!
I probably made it sound more dramatic than it was. DS went to kindergarten at one school, and switched schools to skip first to go into second. Those two were in the same district. The third school was mid-year second to a good fit school. I think there would have been more psychotic symptoms if we had stayed the course at the first school.
ETA: Helps that my DS makes friends easily and also kept friends from the previous schools. And the good news is that he has been at the same good fit school from mid-year second to fifth grade. We are so happy to have gotten a spot for him there. Another school switch coming up for middle school.
And edited again to add: It would be very interesting if they did a study on how school moves affect gifted children, especially when the moves are from a bad school situation to a better fit. I am guessing that the school changes in the study Dude mentions were not primarily to find a better fit school for the child.
