[quote=Anonymous]I would not skip. The one very smart kid I know who skipped a grade struggled in high school and ended up dropping out of college for a while. The social fit is important.

I'd focus on school as a platform for social learning for now, and supplement as you can at home with learning experiences and engaging academic (or not) hobbies. Sure, take advantage of the enrichment opportunities that are out there, but it is not the end of the world if your isn't reading high school level texts in his elementary school class.

As others have said, school will become more challenging as your student gets older. For mine, it wasn't until high school that he really was adequately challenged academically, but high school has been great and I feel like he'll be well prepared for a good college and a happy, productive life (the end goal for us). We actually turned town magnet middle since the commute and loss of neighborhood community did not seem worth it. Four years later, we all still feel it was the right choice.[/quote]
