[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry I am not buying the OP. How about some history here. You mean to tell me that your daughter who is actually young for her grade is so advanced that they want to move her ahead a grade and you had absolutely no idea...You just thought your daughter was a normal average kid doing her normal work..classic..

Sheesh.  :roll: 
You can't win on DCUM. Either you are a pushy jerk because you think your kid is advanced and how dare you suggest that your special snowflake is smarter than average, or you are a clueless neglectful parent because you waited for professionals (who see your child in an academic environment on a daily basis) to tell you that they think your kid is ready for advancement.

OP, ignore snark like this. FWIW, here's my experience.... 
I thought my kid was bright, I figured kid had a good shot at being identified for gifted services as they moved up though late elementary, but I was content to let teachers take the lead, and it was teachers, together with school guidance counselor and school psychologist, who brought up the idea of grade skipping.[/quote]
