    I think that sunnydays70 was pointing out that a child who is actively seeking a grade skip (or some other former of academic challenge) should be listened to, not pushed back down.

    There are certainly people who think they would have been better off not being skipped, for a variety of reasons, of course.

    It doesn't matter if your child tests at gifted or not, all children benefit from the same type of education..which is learn at your own pace type education.
