Thanks, you are correct we have not seen the actual manual ourselves. We will ask about it in the meeting. How do the results read? Does it actually "recommend" skipping for certain kids or does it just "approve" skipping if that is what the family wants? Does anyone know any good reasons not to go along with a skip if the scale says a skip would be ok, or would that be pretty persuasive to you?
Our DD is excited about a skip for the academic subjects, but has mixed feelings about leaving her friends. She does know a few kids in the higher grade and she tends to make friends easily. Given that, would it be better to see if she could stay with her class for gym/lunch/recess etc. or is it usually better to make a clean break and just fully integrate her into the new grade?
Thanks for any help.
