[quote=Anonymous]OP here again.

Yes, her private school took her into 1st grade as opposed to K. So when we switched from private to public, she went into 2nd. Putting her 1 yr ahead.

We are interested in holding back because of speech issues mainly. That is somewhat related to her not being as savy/"not there" with her peers.

Academically, I've posted her COGAT and other scores before. I do think she is at grade level or slightly advanced in math. Generally is drawn to math since she will little, not to reading/writing/arts. Always wanted to "get it over with".

Her handwriting is what I would have considered bad. Over this past summer, she has made significant improvements. I focus on making neat handwriting a priority as opposed to "just getting it over with". It has taken some work aka tears but I think we are making good progress.

Yes, she will be easily influenced by her peers. That is her general personality. I think it would be worse if those kids are now close to 1 yr older as someone earlier posted.

Because of all the previous feedback, I am thinking ahead to HS and college... and again don't see a huge benefit in continuing on this path for social reasons. [/quote]
