[quote=Anonymous]I did a midyear jump as a kid and it sucked. You get thrown in with a bunch of kids who already have established friendships, and there's a classroom routine that you don't know anything about, etc. It's almost as bad as a midyear move. It's much better to skip at the beginning of the year. Acceleration isn't right for all kids, but it's right for some. I ended up skipping three grades in total. I didn't really find my peer group until I was 3 years ahead, and then I made great friends. Still friendly with many of those folks now, 25 years after high school. If your kid routinely makes friends with kids older than them, they will probably be comfortable with a grade-skip.[/quote]
