I have a nine year old DYS DD. Her school is strongly encouraging a grade skip. We have been hesitant because of social skills ( she is mature but does not have any close friends in her grade) and I am beginning to question my decision. She would go from 3rd to 5th and honestly, fourth grade looks like a ton of repetition, I don't thing her social situation could really get any worse. This year she did become good friends with a girl in 5th grade that unfortunately had to move. So what experiences have you had with grade skips? The good and the bad? I am a little concerned that it puts her on the younger end so if she accelerates through high school she will be much younger going in to college. Thoughts??
