In your situation, that might be the best thing. But I think often a skip is really preferable.


It depends on the "population". Ours is such that the student is placed in a class that is still disinterested and slow. They are still bored, but with older kids. Once they are in Middle School, there are often more choices. However, in my daughter's accelerated classes, there is enthusiasm and a much more thorough learning experience so they can jump ahead in seventh. However, I still want her to stay with this group, not with bored older students with attitude.
