Yeah wren, I think you're a little off on that. While I support teaching a kid to ride a bike I think skipping grades is for kid's that are born gifted and/or ambitious,* don't think that's up to the parents to really want a grade skip for the kid. What I think is the parents place is to know what the kid needs and educate the locals if they wanna be all PC and say nobody's kid is special.
*I'm a little confused on the point that high achievement isn't always gifted. it's at least talented, right?
Hey, maybe you've got the touch. Maybe you're a re-incarnated shaman so you can guide people on their path past the fear. Too bad that's not contagious.
