Skipped because of being brainy?

If so, thats cool I only one peron who skipped and he only skipped maths.
He is actually my friend.

My teachers wanted me to skip grades as well, but my parents ultimately opted against it due to various reasons I can't be bothered to remember fully at the moment; at least one of those reasons involved me becoming socially stunted due to my rapid promotion or something along those lines. xD

That was the reason my parents stopped me too. Though it wouldn't have been anything really big; I was just going to go into grade 1 a year early. Instead, I started kindergarten early and then took it again. So I took kindergarten twice. *fail* :| I did skip grade 8 math years later though...not that it makes much of a difference, I was just a year ahead in math. XD;

My brother was allowed to skip a grade though. He skipped grade...4, I think, and went into the gifted program. :|

Must be easier to skip grades in Canada than England.

Or maybe its a smarter country.

How sad, that my school doesn't let anyone skip grades for some reason, I wasn't able to. :( I would if they let me.

 

[Eruption]

I Think anyone would.

Unless, the had really good friendsin their grade/year.

 

[Cherrim]

It's not that it's easier...my brother and I have always been gifted. xD; So academics come pretty easily to us. In all, including my brother, I've only known two people personally who've skipped a grade. oo;

I've always been in a competition with someone, I'm just competitive. Personally we should both skip the next grade. We're just that smart.

 

[Eruption]

Oh well, that solves that then.

XD I've only ever had a grades competition with one person, and it was one-sided because I don't think he showed any interest in beating me. And he won, too, even though we got the same mark in the course. :[ I'm still pissed off about that.

Maybe you could ask your teacher for harder work or something? :x I remember that's what I did in earlier grades because I was so bored in class. Just so long as I didn't get extra homework, I was happy. XD;

I just like acing everyone, Everybody wants to be my partner when it comes to group projects. I sorta like that.

 

[Ivysaur]

I never knew about anyone skipping a grade in my school. But, as I seem younger than I actually am, some people sometimes ask me if I skipped one.

 

[Wish]

Now that I think about it. I hate the people in the next grade, so I don't really skip a grade or not.

 

[Cherrim]

I hated that. x_o; Everyone would want to be your partner and then they'd expect you to do all the work because you're smart. I just worked with my friends (who are all pretty smart too :p) or on my own.

 

[Bomberman]

I was told I could skip K5, but I never did.

All the less smart in my class ban together anyway. That's part of their teams downfall. That makes us smart people achieve in our class. By making the others fail.

100th post in the DCC

 

[Cherrim]

Sometimes that'd happen in my classes, but usually the, ah, less smart people would try to partner up with the ones they knew got better marks. :\

 

[Ivysaur]

Me too. It's strange. I always hated the guys in the next grade. I have always thought people in the next grade were stupid. What most amazes me is that I have a lot of friends in that grade. O.o

 

[Cherrim]

oo; I didn't mind the people in the grade above me. I didn't like the ones in my grade 10 class because they didn't like me. (They resented that I was a year below and got better than them. XD) They were nice in grade 11 when we all failed (god, I hated that teacher) and also in Calculus when we had the same problem. =D; But otherwise I never really spoke to any. oo; I didn't have many friends in other grades.

This past year, when I was a sophomore, I was friends with the senior class quite a bit. The grade above me, the new senior class, honestly is just full of druggies and boring people with no personality. The senior class I was friends with was full of people in the arts that had personality, not to mention one of the finest bands in the area that I've had the pleasure of hearing, Stand Amongst Kings.

To go off the 'next grade kids' subject, how many more days until everyone starts school? I start in 23 days :( (August 27 is too close!)
