[quote=Anonymous]Hi, We skipped. We did it after careful consultation with the school, who did have a psychologist and was considering both the academic and social needs. The reality is that for most kids that are this advanced, they will be better off emotional if they DO skip. As PPs have noted being highly gifted means there might always be challenges on the social side, but heck, it's not like teenage years are a walk in the park for any adolescent. OP, I found the material on this website *extremely* helpful. http://www.accelerationinstitute.org/nation_deceived/ rather than individual anecdotes or preconceived notions, it's a selection of peer-reviewed studies done on the effects of grade acceleration.
