Hi, my now DD13 was radically subject accelerated when we changed her school in 4th grade. She went into 6th grade math and 7th grade Language/Arts. It worked really well for 4th grade. At the beginning of 5th I tried to skip her. I got all the scary stories about skipping that one hears and backed off. I had not found this board. In 6th grade she was again promoted in math and did Algebra I. She had used up the language/arts curriculum available at the school by this time and really was not given anything to do. Middle school did not maintain her acceleration in language/arts but it did in math. There is a school district wide policy that the only classes that can be taken at a high school level are math and foreign language. So even though her school is attached to a high school she is restricted in her English classes. This semester she tested into Freshman College English at the local college and I do way to much driving. Looking back I wish I had pushed for the skip harder. Her current friends are from her math class. We have taken her schooling semester by semester since 4th grade. I long for the stability of knowing, but we don't and so we continue.
