Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Parenting and Advocacy Kindergarten, experiences with skipping?

Here are some likelies -
1)How little new material will be availible for your child
2) How much time is spent on stuff that looks dull and easy
3) How appropriate the material is to most of the children in the classroom
4) What the other kids consider fun
5) How the children and teachers treat children who 'don't fit in.'
6) How the other children aren't expected to have any abstract thoughts
7) How arbitrary the rules are, and accepting the children are
8) How much of a time waster school that's taught below readiness level is for a child.
9) how much variety there is between teachers in the particular of - how do they react to ideas that they may not have thought of before. You want a teacher who treats a child with love and respect even when feeling 'a bit insecure.'
10) How much built in flexibility there is - are some children allowed to go up a grade for their reading or math times?
