LOL, Dottie -- that's exactly what we're going to have to do now, teach to the test. I can't believe I'm even saying it! I've seen a lot of people have success with ALEKS online, so I may look into that. I've no doubt that once he begins formal instruction (which, apparently, we'll be doing at home), his percentiles will take off. The MAP is self-correcting, so it'll go to whatever level it needs to. The interesting thing is that the test sections usually take only 10-15 minutes each, and Benjy took 20 minutes on both. Hmm.
Yes, I do want to weep -- that plan would be *perfect*, and the school would *never* do it. Sigh.
On to research more options, including private schools ... I'm not willing to have him sit around picking his nose in the primary grades, kwim? Sadly, the gifted school here is about 45 minutes away and costs an arm and a leg. We were thinking about moving next year ... hmm.
