My daughter is 6 years old and she's in the first grade. I had a meeting with her teacher before Easter Break and she said that we should consider having Kathleen skip second grade. She's so far ahead of the other kids in her class that she's starting to get lazy and doesn't want to do any work.

Before Christmas, her teacher noticed that she was bored, so she started giving her "enrichment" work to do and last month she started working on a 2nd grade math workbook. She doesn't want to do it any more, because she's noticing that the other kids are doing things that she did a few months ago.


Basically, what I'm asking is have any of your kids skipped a grade? Would you consider it under our daughter's circumstances?

We also could move her to a private school, where the work would be a little bit more challenging, but she wouldn't be able to work at her own level.

Thanks for any advice!
