I agree with everyone else, that it depends so much on the kid, whether they are happy or not, etc. From our experience with our DD8, it comes down simply to whether she is learning some new things. Eventhough she's been grade advanced, the work is still easy for her and certainly not moving at a fast enough pace. But at least much of the information is new to her. She also has things like a better social fit, so that allows us to be more okay with the lack of proper pace. As long as some things she's studying are new to her, I'm okay with that for now. Of course, that's why we're still advocating for DS6 after a year of having basically nothing new to learn. We're not wanting the perfect fit for him (well, okay, that would be nice smile!), just for him to learn something new. We figure that if they're going to spend almost 7 hours a day at school, they should learn something new.

She thought she could, so she did.
