Hi Mnmom, I feel for you. While it sounds like they are doing the whole 'wait out the rest of the year', maybe you could bring up the point that over the summer he is going to keep accelerating. So if he is bored at the end of the year in 1st grade, he will be really bored at the beginning of 2nd grade when they review all the past curriculum. So moving him up now is a great option because he will then develop those skills and become more proficient on 2nd grade math over the summer. FWIW HTH Good luck!
