When I was jumped several grades, I suddenly had friends I could relate to. And I enjoyed the classes as they were interesting.

As for gym, some things I could not compete in, but others, like soccer and gymnastics, the age difference improved my game and I caught up.

The only issues I can recall were handwriting/notetaking and not being able to see over other kids' heads. The teachers moved me to the front of the class and my handwriting is still pretty bad. wink
