[quote=Anonymous]Just don't do it. We moved our AAP son who is now at TJ ahead for core classes in ES on the advice of his teacher. It was a disaster socially - teasing to the point of bullying. We kept him with his grade. It was still an awkward fit. However, once he started at TJ it's been just great. If your child is advanced, please supplement with extra activities in his favored subject outside of school or challenge him in areas that he doesn't excel (think art, music, sports, chess..........something that makes him work at it) We did both, and I have to say having him work at something that didn't come easily was a great reality check. BTW we never officially asked FCPS to skip him, bc I was told it wasn't allowed. [/quote]
