yes, I am glad I read through the manual. There is so much information on acceleration that I have not known before. We filled out the forms together and DH seems to be in agreement so far. DS is interested in the grade skip as he believes the 4th grade classroom may teach stuff that he already does not know.
I understand why I should not bring out my forms in the meeting. I will have them with me and bring them out only if I find them not considering some of the aspects. If the tool they have is as comprehensive and complete as IAS, I may not have to. Thanks for the advise, as always. I am also making notes of some of the citations from IAS, which I can use during the meeting. The research and clinical findings presented in IAS have dismissed many of my concerns in this advocacy step.
