Yup. Trying not to be, because three years in, DS7's school have been great so far, and so the rational expectation is that they'll continue to be, but every year is different so every year I'm nervous...
Yes, this exactly. DD chose not to attempt a subject acceleration (which I think was a wise choice, at least for the short term - I gave her some end-of-4th math so she could self-assess, and she was running at about 75% when she said she didn't want to do math over the summer), so will be a "normal" 4th grader this coming year.
