This was one of the biggest reasons we went ahead with the grade skip. DS had not experienced failing and the growth that can come from that. He still hasn't 'failed' anything, but I do see that he's working a little harder to keep getting those As, even though he wouldn't admit it. One of our biggest fears was that when he did finally encounter something that wasn't easy, he wouldn't have any idea what to do, how to work through it, how to do his best and still only get a <gasp> B or C.

I'm sure you'll make the best decision for your DS.
