[quote=Anonymous]DC skipped a grade (pre-AAP) and it was absolutely necessary. Still the top of the class, needing more advancement, etc.; I can't imagine how out of step DC would have felt with a cohort and curriculum a year behind. Other DC, equally smart, did not skip - needed the extra time and social maturity. This worked because this DC is in a school that has mixed-age classes and lots of academic differentiation. IOW, it depends on your DC. Keep in mind that even if skipping does not produce an ideal result, staying in the current grade might not either. For very discrepant kids, there may not be a perfect solution out there, simply because any institution is designed to meet the needs of larger groups. It's just a risk/reward balance.
