No, LMom, he has a former 2nd grade teacher. She's young--this is her 3rd year teaching but her first with the K-ers.

I'm hopeful that these facts mean she'll be flexible and more likely to recognize accelerated learning that looks like 2nd grade work.

Unfortunately, the first thing she said to him after hello at the meet the teacher hour was "Don't run," when he was not running (or even walking...), so I'm a bit nervous. I'm hoping she's not so worried about controlling the kids that she overdoes it. DS5 holds grudges, I'm afraid. It could make things hard on both of them!
