In K they expect kids to have trouble staying in their seats etc...

This is why I think a 1st skip would have worked better over a K skip for my DS. The kindergarten teacher expected kids to be high energy and coming from many different places. I will say our kindergarten teacher who was wonderful (considering he had 24 kindergarteners, 14 being boys) had only 2-3 years experience. Our not-so-great 1st grade teacher had closer to 20 years. Her expectations of 1st graders was very rigid. She didn't approach the kids as individuals IMO. YMMV of course! smile
