I was making an appointment for a conference with my son's 3rd grade teacher when she made a reference to the students being 8 or 9 years old. My son was with me at the time and he said, "I'm not 8 or 9." She looked at him and said, "Seven?" He didn't say anything more, but I realized that she doesn't know that he is still six. His birthday is at the end of November.
So I am thinking that it is a good thing that she didn't realize that he is younger... but I'm wondering if I should let her know that he's been accelerated or not? His handwriting is not really up to par, and I don't want her to think he's just messy...his writing is age-appropriate.
Any thoughts?
