I have a gifted son who is 5.5yo - just for details sake he scored a 144 overall on his WPSSI - when he just turned 4, his Montessori pre-k suggested we move him up for last septemeber to kindergarten, instead of staying in pre-k as he was suppose to. we agreed to do this and he did great - doing what is essentially a 1st grade public school curriculum. Issue is now we have to decide weather to continue him on to 1st grade or have him repeat K. If he goes to 1st grade, he will be more challenged for sure - but will be youngest kid in the grade (he is Dec b-day and its Sept 1 cut off). If he goes into K, he will be one of the 2-3 oldest kids and will be repeating alot of material + we will be paying a lot of $$$$ of tuition. What to do?
