Our state policy concerning grade skipping appears to say it's up to the individual school to decide.
My son will be 5.7 years in September and should be registered for Kindergarten. However, from what I've read about Kindergarten curriculum, he knows all of it and also most of 1st grade as well.
He's only been exposed to a two day, part-time preschool setting.
My question is: Should I call schools and ask if he can be placement tested to see if he can skip Kindergarten? Do most schools want to have a child start Kindergarten and then decide if they will skip them into 1st after "seeing them in action"?
Since he hasn't had to sit in a desk for hours a day, five days a week, I lean toward putting him in Kindergarten and asking for a skip to second grade for Fall of 2013.
Advice?
