We're still struggling with this - and schools out today!
Actually it's a 1st Grade skip, into a new school. I think the school is going to recommend 1st Grade, although there is plenty of evidence that he should skip. I'm just hoping the school will come through with the 'accelerated 1st Grade' that they've mentioned. The irony is that DSs Birthday, has him at just 5 weeks from the cut-off date for the next Grade anyway. We have testing from a very reputable psychologist in which he tested as highly gifted, his teacher's recommendation, all his school work (way above 1st Grade), and a difference of 35 days! I keep thinking that there will be kids that were actually due to be born later than him, maybe even with learning difficulties, that will be a Grade ahead. I'm trying to fathom it.
