I recall a meeting we had regarding grade-skipping my DS (then 8) where someone wondered how he would fit in with the older kids in the next grade. His 3rd grade teacher basically said he didn't fit in with the 3rd graders any better than he would with the 4th/5th graders, but at least he'd be infinitely happier with the acceleration and subsequent grade skip (which turned out to be true). I remember being so thankful that she recognized the needs of my DS.

Good luck to you.
