Hi Susan. Maybe your son feels that a new teacher will be more interesting and have new ideas, since this one keeps giving him the same old stuff.
We were reluctant to consider a full grade skip at first, but finally advocated for early entrance to first grade for our 5 year old. We used the Iowa Accerlation Scale Manual and some private testing to come to the decision. It might be something your son will need, if not now perhaps later, if he stays in the public school system. You can get the manual for $20 through Amazon. It is an objective way to look at a child to determine whether he would be successful with a whole grade acceleration. It gave us confidence in our decision. Good luck and welcome!
