Recap: DD9 is in 5th grade, having skipped K and 4th. She has blossomed and is thriving, lots of friends, likes that she is in the pack and is not top dog.
I like the idea of a Gap year - but why choose now to do it? She appears to be thriving socially and academically. Please don't let our talk of Middle schoolers worry you - every group of kids is so different, and you can always 'take evasive manuvers - ((Homeschool)) - once the problem becomes acutally a problem, yes?
So enjoy the good times!
Smiles,
Grinity
