DS6 is skipping first and entering second - tomorrow
I didn't even consider skipping K or early entrance for DS because I was in HG+ denial; but in retrospect I'm glad I didn't try for it. From what I know about 1st grade in our district, it would have been a bad fit for DS no matter what age. In K at least they had 2 recesses and much more free play (i.e., less time to sit around and watch other kids learn to read and count). Keep in mind that every district is different -- first grade for us is very much about getting all of the kids up to speed with basic reading. Of course, I'm also concerned about DS not spending much time learning this year, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed...
