[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who let you skip from 4th to 8th grade?! Any school administrator would have to be a moron to let a kid do that.[/quote] I agree. :? My parents pushed for acceleration, i.e. more challenge for me. The school district said they were not equipped to offer more acceleration than in the standard gifted program. The “solution” was to accelerate me three grades. I’ve known other PG people who were similarly accelerated, and it worked out well for them. Clearly some kids deal better with the skip than others, perhaps because they had more emotional/psychological support. For me, it was crickets. [/quote] I’m sorry that happened to you. My parents’ solution was prep school for me and a combination of prep school and Juilliard pre-college for my sister, who also has unusual musical talent. I think we both would have suffered if we had skipped 3 grades.[/quote]
