Very smart kids should skip multiple grades at least.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;files.eric.ed.gov&#x2F;fulltext&#x2F;EJ746290.pdf" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;files.eric.ed.gov&#x2F;fulltext&#x2F;EJ746290.pdf</a><p>&quot;A 20-year longitudinal study has traced the academic, social, and emotional development of 60 young Australians with IQs of 160 and above... The considerable majority of young people who have been radically accelerated [skipped 3+ grades], or who accelerated by 2 years, report high degrees of life satisfaction, have taken research degrees at leading universities, have professional careers, and report facilitative social and love relationships. Young people of equal abilities who accelerated by only 1 year or who have not been permitted acceleration have tended to enter less academically rigorous college courses, report lower levels of life satisfaction, and in many cases, experience significant difficulties with socialization. Several did not graduate from college or high school.&quot;
