Grinity - can we go to the school you're talking about? LOL. I mentioned to the teacher about why they don't schedule the subjects together to make it easier for kids to be accelerated. I got the deer in the headlights look. In K, DS's reading instruction was coordinated w/ 2 other teachers. Well, you can imagine with no schedule synchronization, how hard it was to get the 3boys together and which teacher would do the reading group? So my son got reading instruction about once/month compared to the other kids 1-2/week.
