I am not sure how DS will take it, as he was already told by the teachers that he will be in 2nd next year mad

Wow! That is upsetting. I would be irate. I don't understand how all of these people who are SO against skipping can be so concerned about the "future well being of the child", while obviously not bothering to read literature about how these kids do with skips. As a skipped child, I feel like my future well being was just fine.
