Met with dd's private school teacher today. She told me that since dd is academically ready for it and since there is not much the primary program can offer her next year, the director, the elementary teacher and she have met and decided that dd should skip k and go to first grade next year. The elementary classroom is a mixed age from 6 to 11 yo and dd will be the youngest as a newly turned 5 in fall. I am happy about the academic fit but very worried about putting my little baby in a class with 10 and 11 yo. When my brain clears so I can think, I will start another thread or maybe just look through past threads here on skipping a young for grade kid. But at least, this takes the public school out of the equation, I think.
