I'm with CFK. I'm just not convinced that this skip does him any real good in the short term, though maybe it sets him up better for 4 or 5 years down the road. (But that's just a maybe--without same-level math acceleration, I'm it's far from a given...) If the multiple math skips aren't a good solution, then it doesn't seem like a very helpful skip for your DS, ebeth.

At the same time, it seems like it carries a pretty high risk.

Anytime I see that combo of high risk/low immediate reward, I get nervous.

I think I'd favor independent study over this particular solution, too. It seems more appropriate to the child right now.

But I freely admit that I'm no expert...
