The meeting went well, the teacher and the principal did have a sugestion that DS stay in 5th grade math this year and then go to 7th grade next year. The good thing was that it would be our choice to accept this. We explained that the gaps would quickly be fixed and that we would prefer to keep him in 7th. Everyone agreed and the only other issue was scheduling. DS will need to change to a later period at MS to accomadate changes in the 5th grade program. Unfortuantly this being the 2nd week of school he has already made a friend. DS9 is very upset about the change, because of the friend. We are working on playdates now to help with that.
