I find it very interesting how many of us have skip stories in our families, considering what a hassle it is to be skipped! I wonder if it has gotten harder to skip over time, or whether our parents were such great advocates that so many of them were successful in securing acceleration for us (whether it turned out to be the "right" decision or was handled incorrectly). Any thoughts on that?

Also, today's the meeting day with B's principal -- we're going in to present our views one last time, and ask for at least pullouts to the first grade accelerated math program and the Iowa Acceleration Scale. Wish us luck! I'm going to post on the new board that Grin linked to for some last ditch efforts -- maybe I'll even get some expert opinions (though it's quite short notice).
