Thanks - DD is approaching the end of kindergarten equiv here. The teacher took me aside this morning and told me I needed to decide if I wanted her to be skipped to 2nd grade next year (Jan). I know she is concerned about the social/emotional side of this but I am not.
I will talk to DD, basically though I can't think of anything she would say that would change my mind. She has just completed year 2 LA and has started year 2 math with her current teacher(can do more at home) plus she is quite mature and has friends in the current 2nd grade cohort.
I'm feeling very happy that the school has suggested this rather than it coming from us, although I am wondering how long it will work for...
