I agree with some aspects and not with others. I feel it varies from child to child. Social aspects and puberty are some issues. honestly puberty has a range and for some it starts at 9 and for others may be 11 or 12 or vary further on either side.
social maturity also varies a lot, so I feel one should decide based on whole spectrum to skip or not
My DD6 skipped K and I always wondered 'what if' not skipped, because she is still 2-3 grade levels ahead. She is not bored, it is not her personality. She will be happy to do whatever she is asked to in school. DD is 90percentile for height and 80 percentile for weight, both her parents are short and small frame. DD often says to my wife that she looks like 3rd grader and her mom looks like 6th grader(DD is 6 now)
just my 2 cents
