I agree with you, Grinity. "Clothes" don't fit in class with age-mates. It's not a matter of whether DS's could have stayed in regular grade (aka "coping"), but thank goodness they didn't. They still float to the top of the new grade. Things still come very easily to them and I worry about development of work ethic.
I worry about the level of maturity of my boys. Sometimes they seem like adults with wealth of knowledge, humor, witty remarks, and then one will ask something that reminds me they're just children. One grade skip doesn't fully address their academic needs, but I want them to be able to grow up/mature, be supervised, etc. So, at least for now, we're not looking at additional skips.
