Well, first of all, I have to say sorry about forgetting to tell you about the "class-skipping" verdict... I just stopped by the blog again and found out that there were two individuals asking for the final outcome... :)
And, the verdict was 3-to-1 favoring NB!! But, he would be in his second grade in the next school year....
On the meeting day, the NB's class teacher called us and left a message in our answering machine... His message was really long (more than 5 minutes)... He looked disappointing.... In the meeting, all of the first grade teachers (3 teachers) agreed and supported our class skipping request... However the principal thought otherwise... She believed that it would be more beneficial for NB to be in his second grade rather than in third grade.
In the following day, we had to stop by the school to meet NB's class teacher... to tell him that we felt OK in either way... NB would feel more challenging if he was in third grade. In another way around, he would feel more and more confident in himself if he continued to be with his current classmates... It's a win-win situation!! :)
So even the verdict was 3 to 1, NB will be a second grader in the coming school year because that one vote belonged to the boss!! :)
I had class skipping myself, once when I went to grade 1 without enrolling in Kindergarten and another one when I passed the Equivalence exam and skip grade 12.
Always being the youngest one in the class was not a pleasant experience for me. Though I am pretty sure that I could do well academically. Looking back I knew that I was not quite mature. There was so many incidents that I regretted and I believed that I could do better with more level of maturity.
So this could be a good thing for your NB as you said it's a win-win situation!
================================= Note: My life has been intertwined with works and many others. New responsibility has emerged, resulting less and less time for my ordinary life. Although, a love to write is still intact... But having less time is related to having less imagination.... Therefore, I could not come up with new writings for quite some times.
It might be a good time for me to leave this forum for moment.... Please take it as Mr. A.T. is having a sabbactatical leave or something like that....
As noted above, my love to write is still the same... and will not be changed. Sometimes somehow, I hope I could come back and give some thoughts in this blog once more.
Cheers, Mr. A.T. June 6th, 2008

Hello,
My pen-name in Pantip is amatuer translator. Actually, I'm a lousy translator with lame translation. My pen-name is somewhat misleading, I have no background in linguistics what-so-ever. Anyway I love to read, write and communicate with people...
Reading is my most favorite hobby. I read everything from shopping bags to articles in theoretical physics. I do research and teaching for my living. So, reading, writing, thinking and doing research works are my everyday routine.
I would like to define myself as a person who is accepting new ideas and adopting those into my way of life.
I believe in power of knowledge/education. I think every society can be a better society with knowledge. Ignorance can be dispelled by it. Humanity can live sustainably and harmoniously with each other along with its biosphere with understandings in the nature surrounding it.
Apart from my philosophical thoughts reflecting who I am, I can tell you something I like or love in particular;
I love dogs.... Particularly, labradore retrievers.... One day, I would like to spend my time and life with them as a big part of my family.
Zhuge Liang is my hero. With his wisdom and faithfulness, he led a tiny army to a mighty and formidable kingdom. He left his humble residence with a hope to come back. But, sadly, he had never returned and died far far away from home in a horse carriage in a battle field. If I could choose where I would, I would say where-ever my lovely wife was nearby.
I value happiness and my family as my first priority. My profession and my philosophy come in the second. Pursuit in wealth has never been in my desire.
I'm glad to be your friend, and look forward to seeing you around krub.
