Gracie: This summer, to get ahead of schedule, I read "The Aguero Sisters" By Cristina Garcia. Miss Sanchez: But Gracie this isn't required until the 9th grade! Gracie: As I said, to get ahead of schedule...
I never skipped a grade, but I started Kindergarten when I was four and First Grade when I was five. Fortunately I was still always among the tallest in my grade, so I didn’t stick out for being among the youngest, but there’s much to be said for sticking with your peers. If you get to the point where you’re a 15 year-old college Freshman, you might be able to keep up with your classmates academically but it’s tough to fit in socially.
Gracie ought to be homeschooled! Then she won’t miss out on vital information, but doesn’t have to waste time while the slower ones are trying to grasp a concept. (If Papi or Tia aren’t up to the teaching, there are lots of ways around that problem nowadays.)

I hated little suck ups like her when I was in school. Now I just dislike them immensely.
