We do have an acceleration recommendation...and I now regret not doing it. We made some major life transitions recently, and did not want to add additional pressure....perhaps a bad move on our part.
I will continue to scaffold, praise, hold dd responsible, and try not to kill the teacher, who is sucking the motivation and love of learning out of my kid!!
Is it too late to accept the acceleration recommendation mid year. Mid year skips can be great if the recieving teacher is great, and it is a needed skip. I like your idea of not adding additional pressure, but now it seems that this particular teacher is more 'additional pressure' than a skip into a kind teacher's room.
Of course, one can't come out and say "Please skip my kid because her teacher is evil." but if a skip is needed, then taking it at opportune times to avoid 'bad matches' is ok.
I love your plan for now, and it seems very solid and likely to get you through to next year - skip or no skip.
Smiles,
