It was awards day yesterday at dd12's school and she got an award for being on the principal's honor roll all year, an award for academic excellence, and probably the most meaningful one for her, the language arts writing award. Clearly we made the right choice to skip her! Honestly I think academically she could certainly use another skip, but she is happy socially and I think set up for a good year next year. I am very proud of her for adjusting well to such a big change (move, new big middle school, skipping 6th grade, having to study for the first time, make new friends, etc.)
