[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP: Husband grade skipped as a kid. Fast forward to our second child, and he was always very far ahead (read at age 4, highly able in math, etc.). We decided not to push for grade skip and he's been in every GT program that MCPS has. He's currently in middle school and nearly all his friends are a year ahead of him and going into high school. This is the first year that I truly regret not grade skipping him back in K b/c he's unhappy about being left behind by his friends and not seeing them as much next year.

There's no way to see that far into the future to know what's right for your child...[/quote]

You mean his friends skipped a grade, or that he made friends with students who were in different grades because they were in some classes together?

Through afterschool activities and morning bus, he ended up making friends with kids who are a grade ahead. He only has one friend in his actual grade at school. He talks about how his brain is more aligned with the older kids. MCPS would never allow him to move up to higher grades for even a single class.

I was asking because it was my understanding that some advanced math classes can have students of different grades in them.[/quote]
