I skipped junior year today- it was surprisingly easy. All of a sudden I feel super relatable to the stuff Samlan said last year.

Skipped a grade level. I'm now a senior, and I'm graduating in may, whereas if I hadn't I'd be graduating next year.

Yeah, I'm sad about that...but I'd be moving to a school without a Scioly team anyway, so I might as well graduate so I can volunteer for Scioly instead.

My mom didn't let me skip an entire grade, she only let me skip one math course so far, so now, as a seventh grader, I'm in Algebra 1.

I'm strongly against skipping entire grades. You may be academically ready to move forward, but you probably aren't physically or socially ready, and those aspects are important, too. School isn't just about academic learning, nor will the rest of your life be entirely academic, either. IMO, it's preferable to negotiate a more rigorous courseload instead of skipping an entire grade, if you can. I know everyone's situation is different, but what's the hurry?
