[quote=Anonymous]You should have consulted DCUM sooner! (Kidding) But I am a proponent for never skipping. The reality is the material isn’t all that much more advanced. You are almost always better off supplementing at home with material tailored to your child’s level for a true challenge. You cannot make up for the social and emotional aspect of being much younger than peers, but you can absolutely provide challenges at home if school isn’t. Once in middle school, there tends to be better programs in place for advanced kids that are working beyond their grade level. High school there are a whole host of AP and challenging classes to pick from. But that ship has sailed and you just have to go with the decision you made. Keeping him in current school and holding a back a year won’t go over well with him. Perhaps if you moved schools entirely, but his morale will take a hit. [/quote]
