I totally agree and am very thankful for our school's willingness to think outside the box and allow him to even have a full grade skip and go 2 more grades up for math. Plus they give him 5th grade ELA and spelling in his 3rd grade class. Still below his level but a great start! I really can't complain and he is not complaining at all. They have a math program they use with kids called successmaker through Pearsons. I think they use it with all the kids, but DS seems to use it more. He is almost at 8th grade level though and it only goes up to 8th so not sure what to do after that. We will be discussing it at our conference hopefully!
