[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son was asked to skip 1st 8 years back. It was a good decision and worked great. But from what you say, I would be very skeptical of the comment that she is 3 to 4 grades ahead in her testing. First, testing for what subjects? Second, 1st grade tests will not test up to the 5th grade level, so I would take that comment as being grossly overstated if I were you. If you have any other questions, fire away.[/quote] Agreee. If they're talking about MAP tests, lots of kids in MCPS test several grade levels ahead on that.[/quote] Then OP's child is not that unique. A big step to skip. We only did it because it was presented as him being odd-man-out if he stayed in first. I was scared, but they were really clear and confident that first grade would not work. The thing that made us agree was their certainty. [/quote]
