You're talking about something like redshirting, though. All the poster who you're quoting did is have her child enter school at the age he was supposed to, rather than make him apply for early admission. There was no "holding back" or "keeping him behind." Early admission is certainly not for everyone. [/quote]

Exactly.   I think many people think they need to do EEK because they think their kids are so advanced.   Really need to think ahead....    Depending on the school there are MANY advanced kids.   Sure its a little [b]painful in early grades when things move so slow[/b].   In the end though I am glad we did not do it.   [/quote]

Sometimes its so painful that its ridiculous. My DD skipped ahead a grade because she was advanced and she is still in the top reading/ spelling groups now that she has skipped ahead. So she is getting the academic challenges she needs, but at top of the grade level. If we had not put her ahead she would have languished forever, not just those first painful years.[/quote]
