[quote=Anonymous]We thought about it for our late June DS, who is a lifer at a Big-3. Admissions thought he was ready. Back when they did the WPPSI, he was "very superior" or whatever the highest category was across the board and fast processing speeds. He did act up a bit in 2nd and 3rd because he was bored, so I cannot imagine how much worse his behavior would be if we had held him back. He is now in HS and doing extremely well academically, socially, and plays a team sport that is tight-knit socially, as well (obviously not so much this last year). I think you know your kid best, but if your kid is objectively bright, I would hesitate to hold him back. Also, ask admissions. They see thousands of applicants and have a much better understanding of the long-term than you do as a parent in the now.[/quote]
