Nothing to add except I'm really, really impressed with your school. How can schools be sooooo very different? Our school won't even entertain acceleration.

Case in point, I got a note from my Aunt whose DS is a Ker in another district. The teacher initiated testing and initiated skipping first and going into 2nd next year. Nothing was initiated by my Aunt. Teacher constantly keeps her informed about what level DS is working at and what the next concepts she will introduce will be. I can only shake my head and turn green with envy.
