<p>I skipped 3 grades because I was homeschooled earlier in life and as a result, I just graduated from high school at 15. I’m headed to MIT to start college next semester. </p>
<p>In making your decision, you have to realize that it really just depends on your child. For me, I feel that skipping grades was a step in the right direction. It provided me the mental challenge that I needed while not affecting other aspects of my life in a detrimental way. I get along fine with my (usually older) friends and have a fair social life. Age occasionally gets brought up but generally even I forget about it. In addition, I’ve had plenty of time to focus on extracurriclars and such. </p>
<p>Yes, I have occasionally met with opposition from school counselors, teachers, and certain students but such instances were usually resolvable.</p>
