Update
We went to the open house last night and came out dissapointed but not suprised. We are not sure what we want. I ordered the "Iowa Acceleration Scale" yesterday and plan on going to the library today for some of the other recommended books. I have an email into the teacher asking when would be a good time to come by to talk.
It is obvious to both dh and I that she doesn't notice ds is ahead of what is being taught or she is so overwhelmed that she doesn't know what to do. It is disheartening because she came highly recommended by the principal no less. Her one comment about ds was that "he is a well behaved child". To be fair it was a open house and not the time to get into a long conversation but we still expected soemthing/anything to have been said about his academics.
I am scrambling to figure out what is best for ds, so we know how to approach the teacher and school. Dh isn't convinced that ds should accelerate but he absolutely doesn't want him languishing in class.
I don't even know how to approach the teacher. Any tips?
