Here are my questions.... 1. Where do you get a copy of the IAS? I noticed Amazon sells the manual but I couldn't find the forms. 2. Are educators, in general, familiar with this assessment tool or will I most likely be introducing something new to his school? 3. Has anyone successfully grade skipped their child using the IAS? Stories and anecdotes are welcome. I have a stack of articles I printed from a link from another post to give to his teacher. If I can get her on board with it, it will be easier to go to the principal. My DS5 is in K this year and ,with an August birthday, is already one of the youngest in his class. Now it's the end of the year and he is so beyond it I think 2nd grade would be perfect. I really like the idea of the IAS though, because of the analytical approach that takes into account more than just academics. Thanks, Eleanor05
