I'll explain to make things easier to understand :sweatdrop:
When I was 5 and had to go into school, I already knew all the Kindergarten stuff. So my parents wanted to get me into 1st. But the schools wouldn't let me skip at all. So my parents refused to not skip me, and looked for other options. We found cyberschool (yay!) They tested me, then let me skip to the second semester of 1st. This all took up half a school year. I then finished all of 2nd in the half I had left. Meaning I was about 5-6 years old, but starting 3rd grade. I've been ahead two grades. My schoolwork level is currently at 6th grade.
BUT, if you ask for my records, they'll say "Oh, that kid in 5th grade?" My records are different than my schoolwork level. So I'm always tested at one grade below my intelligence. So basically, I was in a class with the other true 5th graders, and the teachers merged the true 6th graders with our class.
...did you follow any of that?
