We will be switching to public in sept and Peter will be placed in 1st grade all over again. I think about skipping and think, well if our kids are grades ahead say 3+, well then that ends the debate for me. I think well skipping one year won't help academically and skipping more than 1 will not be good socially, so I think , well just put him where he is "supposed" to be and we will get outside help for him or hope he can get extra work at school. I try to think back to what it was like for me in school and being a very late bloomer I would have had a very hard time socially if I myself skipped. I was offered to skip 8th grade but declined. I think thank God I declined and imagine it was more than one grade. I would have had no friends for sure. I am thinking of signing Peter up for online courses to fill the accademic void anyone do this????
