Has anybody skipped a grade?

Nope. They wanted to in grade 2, I think, but thought I should stay with kids my own age. I don't think it really matters. My cousin skipped when he was young, and it didn't help his academics at all. He's smart, but kind of a flunk.

eh, technically yes. I started elementary school earlier than whatever the rules were. my mother managed to ague with them very well. So i should be one year back from where i am now. I'm really not that young. When i graduated from highschool i was 17.

i skipped 4th grade. but i started school later, so graduated w everyone my age. now, i also "skipped" 9th and 12th, i wasnt physically there:) but that didnt change anything either.

Because I lived in several countries, I was home schooled for a few years. I graduated when I was 16, but attended a final year in high school year in Ontario to get an Ontario Secondary School Diploma.

Apparently they set up the ages differently, in New York and Maine, so while technically I've gone through all the grades in a normal order I'm actually too young to be a sophomore and should instead be a freshman. Oh well.

I'm a sophomore now at university. They don't allow you to skip years in university. :p

Has anybody skipped a grade? No, never. I had to do my first year twice because I was a year younger than I should have been when I first did it, i.e, I was ten, I did my first year, and then I started my first year again when I was eleven, but only because I changed schools.

i think skipping a grade isn't helpful at all. i mean you should be with people of your own age when you're young. i have a distant relative who was a child prodigy sort of....i think he skipped something like 5 grades in total or something. he's now schizophrenic with no hope of recovery.
