Questions,
I'm so glad you are getting at least some things to try with the school. I'm going to take your challenge question option into my meeting next month. If they won't allow a distance learning self paced program or a subject skip, maybe they will do that at least.
We are still working on trying to decide if it is better for DS to learn how to manage in the public school or home school him so he can learn but may miss out on learning how to find his place in a group.
