From another thread...

One of the things that DW and I will need to at least consider is skipping Kindergarten for DS5. I'd definitely be interested in hearing about other's experiences.

DS5 has been in preschool for the last 2 years (initially 2-day and then 3-day). Academically he has mastered everything they'll cover in K, and probably nearly everything in 1st as well. However, we are concerned about the big shift from half-day to full-day class. Another thing we're wondering if it makes sense to shift into 1st mid-year. That might be a way to "ease into" 1st.

We're hoping to talk with the school by the end of the month to see exactly what they recommend. This is our first child so this is the first time talking with people in our school district.

How was your experiences?
