Thanks Rosie,
We seem to get lots of posts revolving around this question. When parents see that a child is acting in ways that are labled 'immature' the idea of a grade skip seems ridiculous. Yet the Iowa Acceleration Scale Manual doesn't ask about 'maturity.' It's weird to me how lots of behaviors that reflect 'compliance' are seen as mature in a school environment. Don't get me wrong, I think compliance is one of many important qualities for a kid to have, but I don't see it as the 'be all and end all' of maturity.
Some kids learn to overcome their 'my-way' tendencies as they mature, and some kids learn to overcome their 'go along' tendencies at they mature, yes?
