Yeah, I hear this a lot, and I heard this as a child. Maybe there's real data indicating this is the normal outcome, I don't know. But I do know that in my personal experience, nothing was better for my social growth than skipping grades. My favorite theory is that being a weird kid is easier when you also have a sympathy card by also being younger than everyone. Like everyone sort of gave me a break? I'm not sure, but it was great for me, way better than being in normal school with kids my age.
