[Ohiogift] Skipping a grade

[Karen Rohde]

Accelerating a sibling into the same grade as an older sibling is a huge issue and a critical item on the Iowa Acceleration Scale.  It changes the family dynamics forever.  Do not do it unless both are accelerated.

Subject: [Ohiogift] Skipping a grade

Hi I am new to this group. I have a 3rd grader who has been doing subject acceleration, but logistically skipping a grade seems to be a better option at this point. I am concerned about the developmental piece when he hits higher grades. I am also concerned because he will be in the same grade as his older brother who is also extremely bright. I would love any insight or advice anyone might have from their experiences
Thank you 
Randi
