http://community.greatschools.net/q-and-a/231816/How-can-my-daughter-skip-a-grade My daughter will be going to second grade this year.She is advanced in Math and reading,can handle challenge work. She is a very hardworking girl and has so much interest in studies. I asked principal regarding skipping a grade, but she said it's not possible in this school. Surprisingly I came to know that one kid got a chance to skip grade in the same school, I don't think principal is not aware of this. I am worried because she might get bored and lose interest in studies.Please suggest me best approach to proceed in this regard.
