Okay, just learned something cool today when DS7's report card arrived.
He got a high A in science, and the teacher gushed with enthusiasm in the comments section. Here's the wonderful part: there were two asterisks next to the grade. I searched the report card and found: "**Student is working two grade levels or more above expected level."
I never knew about this! How wonderful that they recognized his abilities and gave him a nice acceleration. They also accelerated him in reading/language arts (which I knew about).
He understood the difference between solids, liquids, gases, and plasmas when he was three. And don't even get me started on his knowledge of dinosaurs when he was two. Etc. etc. At home, we understand his science abilities, but it's really, really nice to see this come from the school, without any advocating.
