Trinity,

I really think that being early entranced and being skipped are different issues. I lived in a small town and everyone knew I had been skipped. It was a big deal and it disrupted a number of my social relationships. That does not happen with early entrance or when the skip happens when moving between schools. It may not even be as much of an issue when the skip happens in a big school or when the child does not have close ties within the school. But my experience was very real and not just based on the fact that I was gifted.
