...when your son is asking you if he can switch class to English because his is too rowdy and he's not doing much in class, you got to ask yourself some questions.
Before Mathieu began pre-K, we started the procedures to see if we could make him skip a year and start kindergarten instead. We have to meet three times with a psychologist (at a cost for each) to determine whether he can or not. While we were told that most kids don't pass the first meeting (IQ testing), he passed with an IQ of 125+ (don't remember the exact number) and we were invited to the next one. He failed the second one because he couldn't hold a pair of scissors correctly (Sabrina still can't but that's another story). We could have continued, and I know he would have passed the next one because it involved physical activities but she told us that because of his fine-motor skills she would not recommend him to jump a grade.
So...
Now he's bored in a class that's not learning because of the troublemakers.
We listened to everyone with respect to having Mathieu jump a grade (he's 12 days too young) and everyone told us it was a monumental mistake.
I feel it was a mistake to listen to everyone and not push for him to jump a grade.
