More thoughts on tutoring: Would placing him for writing (his weak point) be a better use of his time?

Perhaps he'd be more "even" in his abilities and thus easier to place? Maybe it would allow him to skip first grade.

As an aside, we recently learned his eyesight in his left eye is 20/50. He's a "righty" and I'm wondering if that could affect his perception of letter placement, shape, etc. as he's writing?

I'm just throwing out random thoughts on this. Any insight would be welcome.
