I wonder how I feel about this practice. I know it's the most common. I don't think I mind my son volunteering for part of the school day but I don't want that to be his only accommodation for being advanced. Some thoughts I entertain are actually sending work to school with him to keep him busy learning in his seat once he's finished the classwork. If he has enough time to teach another reading group then he has enough time to sit with another class and learn how to do classwork for part of the day too then I would be ok with that. Ideally I would want him to have to sit and pay attention during the day like the other kids if I had my druthers.
