[Ohiogift] Skipping a grade

[Wenda Sheard]

Happened to me. Back in 1961, when a sister born one year and one day after me was skipped up into second grade with me. I'm fine, she's fine. 

Truth be told, she could have been skipped a few more grades, far over me. We're the oldest two of five sisters, all of whom were involved in gifted programming way back when. All of us have always recognized that sister #2 is far more gifted that the rest of us. She's known all over the world in her STEM field, frequently flying to other continents to keynote at conferences. 

Please, please, treat each child individually. I would have felt terrible if my existence would have held her back.

Sincerely, 
Wenda

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
