[quote=Anonymous]People call it reclassing. It's common in some circles, mostly around K and 8th. I would do it. I agree with others that he will change a lot in the next few years, but he'll always be the youngest with the worst executive function skills. If he socially gets along with 7th graders now (and you'd know quickly when hanging out that he's in tune with their interests and maturity level), then I would totally do it. Especially if there's a place you like for his 2nd 8th grade and a place you like for high school. I would probably not do high school at the same place he'd go next year, since his classmates will all be there. A private K-12 or 6-12 would be ideal, if that financially works. Or the other public school 8th then private high school. I'm a teacher and I'm pretty convinced boys on the cusp should always wait. I see summer birthday boys do great sometimes but they're the exception, not the rule. [/quote]
