Default Re: Skipping a grade?

I've spoken with my husband about this and we had a meeting at the school today and we've decided that right now it's not the right move for her. I was worried about her starting high school at 13 and being around 18 year olds and possibly moving away to university at 17.

You guys all had great suggestions, but doing more academics outside of school time doesn't seem like the best option. She's in some activities outside of school and our other children are in a lot of activities, so it would be hard to make time. Also, she doesn't enjoy homework, so more of it probably wouldn't help her.

I think right now our best option in to check out private schools. I think there are 3 or 4 private schools in our city and I'll look into a couple outside of the city too.

Thanks!
