I have just read your post. One thing caught my attention: your DD is in a private school. Our DD12 (PG) is in one of those "academically advanced" private school, which never whole grade skipped one kid! So, when we were shopping around for our DS6 (DYS) a year ago, we specifically asked about the "possibility of skipping"... The answer wasn't "clear" as the school believes that "all of our kids are bright, some are more advanced in one area than others, but..." So we eventually put our DS in the public school K. The outcome is pretty amazing, the school offered early testings, pull out for one on one time with Math specialists and GT teacher, letting him "try out" in 1st grade, etc. The school actually recommended whole grade skipping plus Math one on one, etc. We, as parents, somehow believe that "private school" really cares about how long you would stay: whole grade skipping means the school won't get that extra $30,000! Have you talked to the public school officials? You might be surprised at their answers! We were totally amazed!
