Also haven't let my kids skip, since I think it was a terrible mistake for me

<p>Not to thread hijack, but I also skipped. It worked out well for me, no regrets. We decided to start my older daughter early in our school district (by doing private kindergarten & first) and it was definitely a wise move. She's very mature and would have been stifled both academically and socially if she went into the grade dictated by the birthday cut-off. We did not do that for D2, since she was not as mature. We are convinced it was the right decision for each kid. As always, I think it depends on the child.</p>
