Our DS6 skipped K and was in 1st grade this year. We really wanted him to skip the second year of preschool and go into K, but apparently K is something you can't skip *into*, but only *over*. LOL! They gave him the WJIII test at the end of last year, and let him skip K this year. They finally set him up for an ALP for 2nd next year, with the possibility of skipping into 3rd if it seems to be a good idea. I think it worked out well this year, but mostly because I liked his teacher and she really worked with him to cut down on his frustrations with the other kids and the way things work in school. I don't think he really learned much of anything beyond that at school. We shall see what happens next year.
