Shell,
Every time you post, I laugh. Your DS sounds sooo much like mine. The hardest part of h/s the first year for me was that it was almost impossible to keep up. In desperation, I signed him up on time4learning just so that I could have a few minutes of peace!!
I've already considered that with multiple grade skips etc, in a few years we may have to return to H/S. But when it happens it will be with the aid of tutors etc. DS6 is in pre algebra now, two years, I'm done, I admit it!
I also remember my test anxiety very well. I'm not known for my patience in those situations. The tester gave me clues, clues like "he insisted on building his patterns upside down, so the orientation would be to me, curious". When sitting on pins already, that type of comment doesn't spark any sort of relief! So, hang in there. Step one is almost over and you still have to climb the Parthenon!
