Fun anecdote... I took DS7 to a math club yesterday. It was aimed at 4-6 graders, but had a range of ages and he seemed to fit into what they were doing.
The next youngest kid was 8 and his dad mentioned he was in 3rd and had skipped 2nd. Afterwards DS7 said he thinks he should skip 2nd (the skip has been set for about a month, and we were waiting to tell him for end of year to avoid him bragging or such.) Asked if he had any concerns, he said that there would be more writing, but otherwise, no. So with his total buy-in he has agreed to do practice writing throughout the summer and make sure his social studies cover what would be in 2nd "if" -wink- we can arrange a skip for him.
With everyone on the same page it seems pretty easy.
