I had a totally different experience with our child's skip. We have had a remarkable skip this year and have had no set backs what-so-ever. Maybe it's the difference in grade that was skipped. All's I can say is that a skip is not always a solve all. Our DD skipped this year, and is still pulling off a 4.3 GPA for both quarters. She is not challenged but just think of where we would be without it at all. The other positive was the level of independence in the receiving grade. There is more interesting work, while not challenging for our child, it is definitely more engaging. I wouldn't have second guessed the skip for the life of me. In fact, I am sure we'll be looking at more accomodations in the future with the rate she is going!
