DD was accelerated one grade and I always found it strange how no one seemed all that interested (as in, the other parents). Maybe because she was in kindergarten when we did it and she didn't have really good friends/connections at that point anyway (or at least, I didn't have them with the other parents, she had just been to random birthday parties). The people in the next higher grade probably thought she came in from a different school. I really don't know. She looks roughly like the grade she is in, she's not THAT far off in terms of age. It's not like she's 8 in 7th grade, she's 8 and in 4th grade. Some of the smaller 4th graders are the same size. Now that she DOES have friendships/connections, I still don't think most people know she was accelerated. They probably wish her a happy birthday and think she's a year older than she is.
