[quote=Anonymous]OP, is your child happy at your school? If the answer is yes I wouldn't worry about it. If not, I would probably start "homeschooling" a bit in the afternoons/evenings and if your child continues to be advanced think about letting her skip a grade (please no attacks about how this is socially bad). My sister and I were both reading chapter books in K and since we have very different personalities we had very different reactions to the fact that they were still teaching letters in K back then. While I remember having a wonderful childhood because I could just focus on hanging out with my friends and doing no work at all while still getting straight As, my sister remembers being bored out of her mind and hating school. My parents ended up letting her skip a grade (she actually should have skipped more than one given her abilities) and she was much happier. We both ended up going to Ivy League schools and now have jobs we love.  So I guess this is a long way of saying I think you should watch your DC's situation closely and that there's no one-size-fits-all solution.[/quote]
