I skipped two grades, Kindergarten and 5th. I didn't mind being younger than my classmates and in retrospect it was probably a better choice than remaining with my age peers. I graduated valedictorian and started college at 16.

My sister skipped a grade but had a harder time. One difference is that my skips were into new schools but her skip was at the same school.

I'm looking at grade skipping/early entrance for my daughters. I see it as a "least bad option." I'll try to do it so it happens with a transition to a new school.
