DS did not skip K but did his skip midway through 1st into 2nd. He had a hard time leaving home going to school and there were lots of tears, and I'd rather have him start out with 1/2 day K where the tears were more acceptable than having him cry all day in 1st. I couldn't even get him on the bus until February of his K year! So for us, K was used as his adjustment time to get used to being away from Mom.
After all that adjusting, we're now homeschooling! I'm glad he was in PS for 2 1/2 years - he's no where near as shy or clingy as he was when he started K.
