"Has the school offered a skip or are you just trying to figure out what would be ideal if they were to offer?"
Well, NOW they are offering a skip. Mainly because we have spent the past year advocating just for subject acceleration. They at first recommended a full year skip just because they didn't want to do the subject acceleration (which they totally botched up and made my son an anxious wreck apparently). Now that we've had him tested and fully evaluated, the tester recommends a double skip. I am so not ok doing that, so we will entertain a single skip.
Really, though, the single skip isn't going to scratch the surface, which is partly why I am hesitant. He only goes to school part time right now and he and I both think it's working well. The tester is under the impression that a skip may challenge him, but she really doesn't KNOW our school. Even with the single skip, we are still going to have to homeschool the academics.
