So my kiddo (DD10) was already skipped once in elementary school and it worked out great - no issues at all (except the usual "not challenging enough academically) We had high hopes for academic magnet school that she got into but work was not challenging/interesting or at her level period. So I've spoke with the school trying to get her appropriate placement at least in math for next year (Algebra 1, 7th grade advanced class in this school). After chain of events somehow schools decided to place her in 7th grade for everything, skipping 6th grade. Honestly, this was not my intention! Kiddo is absolutely happy and begging me to allow it. I am terrified. I read all the threads here and lots of studies but still very uneasy about it. I am not even sure why I am so scared. First time she skipped I was quite content and happy. This time she will be 10 year old in 7th grade... Any positive stories, happy endings or advices will be appreciated!!! Or cautionary tales too! P.S. English is my second language so I apologies for mistakes...
