[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds as though you wouldn’t really be holding her back, but instead placing her in the correct grade for her age according to the school district’s guidelines. She would likely be happier and have an all over better experience being in the grade with her age peers. [/quote] I agree. Op, in the 1970s my sister was allowed to skip a grade b/c she was smart and tall. Well she was still tall but not maturing at the same rate as her classmates in middle school. She was very distraught by this and felt incredibly out of place. In high school, she cut school a lot b/c she felt awkward and out of place. She was immature for her age group. She eventually straightened up and did go on to college and be gainfully employed. But it tough few years. [/quote]
