When I said, yes but, how will it feel to no longer be head and shoulders above everyone? And to always get As. She said, maybe someone could be head and shoulders above her and then she wouldn't have to be the one.
It's probably a lot easier and healthier to go through this in grade school than later on. My first experience with not getting straight As and not being the smartest kid in class didn't come until college. It sounds silly now but to get the first B of my life in college was devastating to me.
Also for my daughter, when she moved from traditional to GT programming, she told me that it was a relief not to be the smart kid that everyone else went to for answers. She liked having other kids that she could go to.
Good luck getting her the grade skip that she wants and needs.
