Oh LadybugMom, if I had a nickel for every time I heard that. I think IMHO, that you are getting this comment b/c it is a defense mechanism for them. How else can they explain how your child is so advanced? I did push the mother who made that comment about third grade, with do you really believe that all children are equal throughout school? Here was her reply: Not at all, but research has proven that by 3rd grade the wide range seen within Kind. evens out. So I guess they are right in that regard, basically you will see more of a bell curve. But a bell curve only exists with the highs and lows.
