Have any of you (or your children) skipped a grade?

[Nevermore]

Okay, Nevermore. Quit trying to gloss over the fact you skipped 3 grades— because of being homeschooled. It might work except for the part about starting at MIT at 15. I can speak from experience because my son will be graduating soon with an associates degree at 14. He’s not MIT material though and has no interest in going to an Ivy. </p>

<p>He also has met some opposition and while it wasn’t pleasant he just worked through it. Most of the students and professors have been friendly and supportive. There were a few students that just brushed him off initially, but it wasn’t a big deal.

<p>I’m sorry, I’m not quite sure what you mean by “gloss over”. I was homeschooled for several years (due partially to really bad asthma) and when I started public school, I was three grades ahead. I then graduated from high school early. Those are the facts and I don’t quite see how I’m trying to “gloss over” them. </p>

1. I couldn’t sign any of the contracts at school by myself because my signature as a minor wasn’t valid. A minor inconvenience.

<p>Heh, I was wondering about that. Did you end up having to fax things home to your parents? That might be a bit annoying.</p>
