+100.  I've known a few people who skipped a grade or more and not a single one had a normal social life.  Most had tiger parents (speaking of parenting style, not ethnicity) who focused  on academic achievement above all else.  Please don't do this to your child.

And as for how it fits with redshirting, there is a reason Maryland schools only allow early admittance to kids born in September and then, only after they pass a readiness test.  If you know redshirting is the norm in your school, why would you want to move your child a grade ahead?

Because I don't want him to STILL spend his time with the classroom full of kids just learning their ABCs more than a year from now when he's already a good reader TODAY. [/quote]

Most of his kids will be reading too, your kid is not as unique as you think.[/quote]
My kid is like other kid - unique in some ways, typical in others. If  other kids are reading too, that's great. There will be some that aren't. [/quote]
