We are meeting with the school this Wednesday - Our Psychologist, the GT Coordinator, the school's psychologist, teacher, et. al, should be in attendance.
This meeting was called by our psychologist after receiving the WISC-IV test scores. The main goal of this meeting is to discuss the scores, and determine the next steps.
In our last meeting, I did ask the principal what she is open to, with regards to grade skipping/acceleration, etc. She said she is open to anything. So, that's good. My DD6, is already the youngest in the 1st grade class with her Sept birthday. Grade skipping was brought up one time, however the principal did make the point that "technically" is already a grade ahead.
So here's the question I have and I want to know how to tactfully bring it up in the meeting --
"Which is worse socially?
A - Being in the class with kids the same age, but pulled out for special advanced classes and being singled out as the "smart one"
OR
B - Grade Skipping and being the youngest in the class, but with intellectual peers."
How should I broach that question - should I ask it just like that or is there another approach?
