[quote=Mahagogo5]Thanks - DD is approaching the end of kindergarten equiv here. The teacher took me aside this morning and told me I needed to decide if I wanted her to be skipped to 2nd grade next year (Jan). I know she is concerned about the social/emotional side of this but I am not.
I will talk to DD, basically though I can't think of anything she would say that would change my mind. She has just completed year 2 LA and has started year 2 math with her current teacher(can do more at home) plus she is quite mature and has friends in the current 2nd grade cohort.
When you say she has completed year 2 LA do you mean she has met the national standards for after 2 years at school? Just asking because as far as I can tell there isn't such a thing as year x language arts or maths at our school because there are no texts or consistency between classes.
Only asking because ds6 wasn't allowed to go up last year because he wasn't ready enough to over-ride their completely arbitary cut off of 31st March and is now working more or less at the top of his year 1/2 class with kids who will go to year 3 next year while he gets left in year one because he is "immature' or maybe he is something else. He meets the standards for after 3 years in reading and would probably be at standard for maths at that level.
