I'm in "need to digest" mode myself, but my Mastercard moment came when both of DS's 5th grade teachers said that I really knew what I was doing when I pushed for the grade skip. They are thrilled with him, and didn't have a single age/social/emotional concern whatsoever, ditto for 6th grade math. I was grinning so hard when I left that I felt like I'd just had a Botox injection. They were really amazed with DS's abilities. It was interestingly better than any past conference too, which was surprising given the additional acceleration. I wonder in part if they aren't seeing things having been given "permission" to see them, if that makes any sense. There is a certain amount of tunnel vision going on in those early grades.
Wow Dottie, That is terrific news. Good for you. and good for them for giving a parent the kind of validation that doesn't come very often. WoW!
