Not to hijack the thread, but just wondering if there is a section in the IAS for executive function. With a skip from 5th to 7th, I would imagine all that remembering of papers, assignments, and the ilk could be a major stumbling block for a lot of gs kids, no matter how advanced/high IQ.
This was the reason it took me so long to come around for asking for the skip--but the IAS actually encourages skipping 6th as opposed to 5th, because in 5th they are getting the preparation for that stuff (here they change classes and have 4 different teachers in 5th). Thankfully she seems to take after her (German, detail oriented) father in regards to EF--I think it will be challenging, but I also think she is capable of doing it. FWIW I also think her Montessori school did a good job of preparing her to be responsible for her learning, keep track, organize, goal set, etc.
