Thanks, everyone. I guess there is no easy solution. My child barely misses the cutoff, yet is by no means the oldest one in the class. We thought about going early to kindergarten but were strongly discouraged by our private school and by the local public school. There is such a push to hold children back "to give them an edge," especially boys. To be honest, the children that are held back in class seem bright, yet are the ones with the behavioral problems. Yet everyone around me is so into holding back just for the sake of holding back. Yet in my gut a one-grade skip seems like the right thing to do. Sigh. I guess I'll wait and see what the psychologist says when we sit down for the full report meeting.
