That is my feeling as well, that they are trying to scare us. I posted another thread that we have a meeting Thursday. I am really hoping they would at least do the math acceleration(even though they told us no before). I was also thinking of asking if they could start putting her in first now for math/reading and then the 2nd skip wouldn't have these so called "gaps". My dh feels they just don't want to grade skip one b/c then they will have the headache of dealing with more parents who want one and the testing/meetings etc that would come with that. At the end of the day, that is their job and shouldn't hinder what is best for my dd.
