We just received good news this week also. Our DS10 (5th grade) will be subject accelerated in Math (6th grade). This is a very unusual accommodation for our school. We are grateful to the assistant principle and 6th grade teacher for making this exception.
His schedule will be strange. He will leave his class, go next door for Math, eat lunch by himself, miss recess, and then join the other fifth grade class for English. He has had few peer acceptance issues this year at school for a change, but this accommodation will probably be another social liability. He understands, but wants to do it anyway.
