Oh, how sad. We too have gotten nowhere with acceleration, and our son is likely only moderately gifted (we've done no IQ testing yet - it's just my guess), so one grade-skip may have actually solved everything. Now the principal sits in on every parent-teacher conference and we hear constantly about what a problem his behavior is. Well, gee, what do you expect when he has to spell a dozen words he already proved he knows by stamping one letter at a time?!
But, of course, "every parent thinks their child is gifted."
Harumph.
