We'll be starting Connections this fall as well. My son took a bunch of test placements as well. He was put in the GT program and we will be working very closely with a teacher. I myself am very unorganized and hate routine as does my DS7. I spoke with our principal several times about the right placement, my concerns with the above-mentioned "weakness" and she assured me that we would be spending a great deal of time "tweaking" the curriculum to fit his needs. I spoke with several other families who have done this with their 2E/PG/HG etc kids and they have all loved it until their children topped out. We will be starting in 3rd grade but the principal said she was almost certain we would be finishing 4th or 5th grade by the end of the year. So, we'll see. I just know PS is not an option nor is me trying to create my own version of homeschool. I love to play way too much. Hehehe Good luck with your decision.
