Not only was I *not* taught how to skip, but my Kindergarten teacher used this "criteria" as justification for insisting that I repeat Kindergarten and not be forwarded to first grade.

My parents had to take me to a juvenile psychiatrist for an IQ test in order to override my teacher's "recommendation". (I tested above-average.)
