Edited to say that there is a post in between here that got lost in moderation somehow...

And this is why I like processing things I this way: I realize that I cannot, at this point, plan/ask for a skip, because it would freak DS out if he realized. So while I will check with the gifted school for what they recommend and how we can keep our options open till the very last minute, I will have to ask his teachers to plan for how to keep him happy and engaged for another two years, getting out the 4th grade material if need be - and if they are afraid they will run out of material to teach him, we'd have a solution for that, too.
The tester, who has decades of experience, insisted we need to keep an eye on things, as disengagement happens fast and takes a long time to undo. So I'll have to talk about that with the teachers, too - how to tell if things are disintegrating in time to act.
