So the psychologist that test my 6-year-old mentioned the idea of skipping first grade (currently in kindergarten) and going straight to second. My child is bored, very social, and spends the school day chatting. On higher work than the other children, but not trying. I'm worried the switch to public school (from Montessori) will result in being labeled the class clown. My child seems to behave "up" around older kids, and "down" around younger kids. But at the slightest mention of skipping a grade, I feel like I'm getting rotten tomatoes thrown my way by teachers and other parents. "You'll regret it for sports." "You'll regret it in middle school." Anyone regret it? How do you know what's the right call?
