[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you insane?  Yes.  She will never catch up to her brother, duh.

My sister was allowed to skip a grade.  Puberty was excruciating and difficult b/c she was behind everyone else as they were developing and 17 when she went off to college.  [/quote]

I skipped a grade, as a girl. Puberty was excruciating and difficult, but not because I skipped a grade, but because it was puberty. I went to college at 17. Nothing bad happened.[/quote]

PP, Good for you!

As for the teacher with the anecdote on the boy skipping a grade, a highly smart child will often have issues in the early school years because he may not have a peer in the whole elementary school. And given how rare his talent level is, most teachers may never meet one in her whole career. Many truly talented people won't have a true peer group until college years, or at least high school. So no wonder he struggled, he would have struggled not having skipped too. It can even be argued that he was not challenged enough even with a single grade skip. [/quote]
