Hi -
I couldn't resist a follow up to the other thread.
here's a quick recap of our story:
My ds5 is starting K this fall but we are not able to skip him for a variety of reasons.
1. his LOG is not where a skip is clearly warranted. not reading yet, etc. (he reads a lot of individaul words but not books yet.)
2. we will be moving to a new area and are not sure which school he will attend when we get there. With the distance and the lack of a specific school, I am not able to "feel the school out" and see what they would accomodate in advance.
3. I remembered from previous threads that sometimes 1st is just more structured/restrictive, more "seat time" and less accomodating than K
All would be well and good except that he seems to be right around what is expected for the (year-end) academic standards for our state - for 1st - on everything except writing.
So, even though we have many good reasons for not skipping. I kinda wish we were. Any others in a similar situation?
thx
- EW
