Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. Douglas Adams, "Last Chance to See"

To skip or not to skip
Amelie is brilliant. :) I say this because her new school says she tested in the top two (let's face it, she's #1) of her school. Now they want to move her up to the 4 & 5 year old class where they learn actual reading and math. Academically I know she can handle this, she is reading spontaneously all over the place these days. "C-ah-m-p-a-c-t - what's "compact", mama?" on our parking spot, for instance. I just worry about her being the baby in the class, I want her to make friends. It took a long time at Montessori and when she finally had a "best buddy", they closed. We're taking the chance, she would be bored silly learning the alphabet. We'll see how it goes.
