If they don't skip him, they might have him pull out and work at grade level (i.e., in a higher grade) for certain subjects. We had discussed this with our school, but they didn't feel it was right to put a kindergartener in with the fifth graders, and I do see the point on that. We've also discussed her violin playing--for her to play with the orchestra (and I use the term loosely), she'd be grouped in wth the 4th and 5th graders next year. If she wants to audition, I will support her in that, but the school really starts violin in 3rd grade, and is hesitant to take on a younger kid. So far, DD is happy with her private lessons, so that's on the shelf, for now.
My DD7 goes to public school--she sees the gifted teacher 3X a week, and gets additional enrichment in reading, math, science, and social studies. The teacher doesn't make a big deal out of it, DD jsut gets harder books to read, harder worksheets,etc. Ironically, her favorite subjects are math and art. Art? If there's one area where she's painfully average, it's art! But hey, I'm glad she enjoys expressing herself.
