My son skipped first grade and will be a high school senior this year. We don't regret the one year skip and we don't regret holding it at just the one year. Elementary school was hard to survive. Middle school was a bit easier. High school has been a breeze. Note that in middle school, we started paying for straight A's. (I wouldn't work if I didn't get paid, so why should the kids?)

Anyway - we never considered a skip for DD. Now she wants to start college 2 years early. Oh well.
