Thanks Cricket! I hadn't even considered that! It's an interesting idea, and it makes a lot of sense. I'll have to look into this deeper. Honestly, I hadn't thought very much about skipping her since my brother was skipped and won't consider skipping his own gifted DD due to his negative experience. On the other hand, I'm not sure he has really considered what it would have been like to repeat a year's worth of subject matter...we moved and the schools were very different in their levels.

I guess I should get that book from the library that debunks all the grade acceleration myths...
