It took me forever to come to a decision regarding skipping 3 grades next year. I've read til i'm cross eyed, talked to everyone, asked advice, basically made myself crazy!
Out of the blue this morning, my partner says that she thinks it's a bad idea. She wants DS6 to go to first grade. Why? So that he doesn't miss out on macaroni art! I just looked at her like she was a 2 headed monster, how do you make an argument to that?
We agreed that his academics would be left to me as I'm the one who has taken the time to get educated. But this is back to the whole "freak factor" again. She actually asked me how it would look for his class picture with little bitty him and a bunch of big hulking 4th graders? Who cares!!!!
I don't even know how to respond........
