Especially if the "accommodation" is something better than handing the kid a workbook for a year of self-instruction in the back of the classroom.

Ooh! Ooh! I did that in third grade using fourth grade material and then got to repeat the fourth grade material in fourth grade.
I'm not sure if I even learned much the first time through it. I slept through it in fourth grade.
DS just completed Kindergarten. He enjoyed working in his first grade workbook and also third grade math sheets when he finished ahead of the class. But I didn't enjoy seeing him do twice the amount of work than he should have. The Kindergarten math sheets came home side-by-side with the third grade ones. It was ludicrous.
We knew he'd be in for more of the same if he was re-enrolled for next year and have headed off that disaster (we think, anyway) with enrollment in a blended-grade charter for first.
