Thank you thank you thank you! That's just the kind of thing I needed to hear about.

I brought up the idea of a single-year skip with DH, and he may be amenable to that.

DS's major complaint is the slow pace of subjects like math/science -- there's a great deal of review of the same topic over and over again, especially in math. Does that sentiment improve at all after the skip because the work is harder?

Guess it matters whether the skip was enough of a skip.
