Well, DC is in to week 2 of the new grade accel and things are going well! Socially, it's GREAT too! Teachers are wonderful on keeping me updated, kids are fine with it too. DC is Still getting a few questions about what grade DC was in last yr. but found it extremely helpful to prep DC with a response that works for all situations and no explaining has to be done. Also found parents have backed off me tremendously (feeling that word about the accel spread like wild fire, as did my response that I am not really allowed to discuss details of it) so no one else has bothered to ask how it came about, etc! A slow leak over the summer allowed the shock and awe of it to die down over the summer break (never been done at the school before so everyone was shocked by it apparently. grin
