Kriston:

Overall, I think year is going okay. He's not saying he's bored; I think teacher is balancing giving him work that's too easy (like in centers that the whole class does) and then doing pullout giving him some things at his level. I think she could encourage him to do more and there's no question in my mind that he'd be fine with it and learn as fast as she'd teach him.

Part of why I'm not too stressed about any classroom deficiencies, though, are b/c I've thrown away all the K homework. I've hired back my former nanny for afterschool with instructions for her to talk with the kids in Spanish and challenge him with learning a new language, and I've got him doing Singapore Math workbooks for homework at his real math level. Makes me wonder sometimes whether I'd be better off home schooling him, but it's just not possible now that I've gone back to work full time.

EastnWest: Sorry to hear about DS's challenges. My fingers are crossed for you that you can get some subject acceleration.
