DW immediately set about patching the holes, then taught her a full third grade curriculum.

We had DD-now8 take the state assessment test given to all 3rd graders. This would give us incontrovertible evidence for putting her back in school at 4th grade next year. DD is an extrovert who strongly desires to be in school to make lots of friends.

We got the test scores back today... "Mastery" in all subject areas.

That's awesome! Congrats!

I SO WISH DS4.9 would just want to stay home. It would make schooling and managing his allergies so much easier (just added allergy and exercise induced asthma yesterday to the pile of issues he already had!) But he really REALLY wants to go to school and have friends there as he says so we are trying to make it happen. All he's talking about these days is how he's going to go to Kindergarten smile
