What I am hearing is that maybe it's not a big deal to skip K? If they won't let him attend early, then it's ok to skip to first grade. Hmm, I hadn't really considered this. My teacher friends keep talking about how K is so fun and special and I didn't want him to miss out but you know what? He thrives on academic challenge, he glows when learning something new and he he along very well with older children and is the size of a child two years older. He is struggling with social issues at school, I haven't teased out the root yet. I have a lot to think about and all of your responses are tremendously helpful in working through this. Can't thank you enough.
