Eh, my kids are the smartest in their class, and the only real option is to put them a year ahead, where they're likely the "dumbest". They're still in elementary school, so I would really rather they spend their time enjoying their childhood instead of trying to catch up in school.

I was the same way as a kid. I did all the extras, was in "honors" classes, did "AP" (college credit) classes, and even went to the local community college while in high school and got a 2-year degree simultaneously with my high school diploma. I'm not some savant or anything, and if I skipped a grade at the wrong moment, I might have merely graduated a year early and not gotten that 2-year degree. My friend group also would've been impacted since I'd be a year different from everyone my age.
