Thank you very much for the links as well as letting me know about the Pros/Cons of Grade Skipping. I will make sure I read each of those thoroughly!

I truly appreciate your words that I quoted above. Both my and I have been very upset (yes, at times there have been tears) since getting the news about his IQ Score and how his score related to all of the 3rd graders in the county. My wife and I thank you for what you said!!!

Have a wonderful holiday season!
