Here is what DH and I have decided:
*we are going to subject accelerate at school into 5th grade (where DS was supposed to be in the first place!)
*we are going to table the full skip until later in the year, with an eye on doing it at the start of next year
*we are going to homeschool all academic subjects for the rest of this year
Honestly, I am amazed at how much we are enjoying homeschooling. I know I've mentioned it before. But it's been so eye opening for me (and him). What I am offering him at home is so much better than he would get in B+M school. Oh and the principal let us know that if we skip him into 3rd grade now, no more partial homeschooling for us! So, that just kind of sealed the deal. How could I skip him into a grade: that still wouldn't be challenging, where they are spending the year preparing for state tests, where they never go into depth in any subject. What is the point of skipping a grade then? (And if anyone has a good answer to this, please respond!)
