Squishy,

I agree with MON's post. Our ds, though he scored very high on the Iowa Acceleration Scale, also got points off for "social skills." And yet two of his three teachers, after they learned he was skipping 6th grade, made a point of telling us they think it's a great decision, in part because he's "so mature." So social maturity is too complex of an issue to make a decision based on one aspect, during one incident. Our ds gets impatient with his peers and yet is one of the most empathetic people I know.

I hope you gather your research and fight this with everything you have.
