DS6 is currently homeschooled. If he was in school, he'd be a young-for-grade 1st grader. His birthday is just two weeks before the cut-off. We're now at a point where I'm starting to feel like a grade skip would be doable, should we ever need/want to have him go to school. (His normal age would have him graduating high school at 17. If we grade-skipped, he'd be 16.)
However, he's also fairly athletic, and his ability to participate in sports now has me doubting whether the grade-skip would be good. With "redshirting" trends combined with his already young-for-grade age, a grade skip would probably put him 2-3 years younger than some of the other kids on the team.
At the moment, his sport is gymnastics, which is sort of less worrisome than if it was a school sport, but his interests could change.
I know that there are so many variables at this point because my son's so young, but I'm just curious how this has played out for others.
