I have just read your post. One thing caught my attention: your DD is in a private school. Our DD12 (PG) is in one of those "academically advanced" private school, which never whole grade skipped one kid!
I am a little tore about this as well.
DS5 will be going to an "academically advanced" private school, which I don't believe they would skip.
However, the bigger class sizes in public school is having me worried. DS is extremely manipulative, and the smaller class sizes and the stricter atmosphere will give him some much needed boundaries.
Why did you send your DD to a private school?
