My eldest son is in 2nd grade in a private school. We're thinking about moving him to a public school next year and requesting that he skip a grade. The private school doesn't seem amenable to this idea.

I'd be grateful for either advice on how to approach school officials or links to web sites with this information. I've read Genius Denied and have a couple other books, so they are a start.

He hasn't taken any standardized tests but has, for example, completed a 3rd grade math book and is moving through a grade 4 book. I'm saving these. His teacher sends him to the 3rd grade to get books for reading class. I'm trying to figure out how to register him for a standardized test but am haivng trouble. I'd like one that I don't have to score (to remove bias). Advice appreciated.

Thanks.
