My 6 year old first grader has asked a couple of times to either skip first or move to another school. He even asked me to homeschool him, and a different time suggested an online school. All of these were things he came up with by himself:(
K was awful for him.
It breaks my heart that we can't let him skip to 2nd, but he has a twin, and at this point having just one skip would cause life-long consequences for the other twin and their relationship. (His brother is REALLY overly competitive with him) I am really hoping the GIEP plan will make a difference, and I am hoping that at some point his brother will be ready for a grade skip, as well.
If you don't have any compelling reasons not to skip, you should seriously consider doing it.
