We faced a similar issue with DS5. He missed state cutoff, and I opted to enroll him at an Independent School. He was already reading at 2nd grade+ before he started school, and this school allowed subject acceleration, so I thought it was a fine fit

I think my idea of 'ADHD trait' is very similar to Momabear's experience on the other thread! So glad to hear that you had a great day! Each great day is precious. Grins

Thanks. We're still having some behavioral issues (we talked a little during the meeting). I think they are partially due to the schooling situation and partially due to his age. The good thing is that we have a really good homeroom teacher. JB
