You don’t just get to skip a grade because you or your mom ask for it. Have you been identified as gifted and/or talented? If you are highly gifted, we’re talking in the 150 or more IQ range, you may be considered to move up a grade.

But let me ask you this, is it worth it to be the youngest person in your grade, and perhaps know the least because you are not entirely prepared for 6th grade. Or is it better to be the smartest, brightest, most mature, and most prepared person in 5th grade. This is how you can eventually become valedictorian of your graduating class.

If you are truly bored with your classes, then find some ways to extend your education. Take dance classes, piano lessons, art classes, etc. You will also have the opportunity to start participating in extracurricular activities at school soon.

I’m not sure of your motivation to skip a grade, but there are better solutions.

Here’s my advice, don’t skip.

You can’t skip just because you(and your mom) ask for it.

They just won’t allow it.

You must be smart, yes.

I could of been put into 4th grade when I was in 3rd grade, but I decided not too because I didn’t want to be the youngest in the class.

You might get picked on, no offense.

At my school, you would be promoted accoring to your standardized test scores (state tests), your report card grades, teacher recommnedation, and parents. Good luck.
