Okay, turns out DS ended up getting a 99%, not 100%, on his timed test because he made a small mistake. So, he's essentially still at the beginning. I think I've come up with a plan, though, that I will try to casually mention the next time I see one of his teachers. Since 3rd grade math has begun to work on multiplication and will in January, I think, start testing on multiplication facts, I will ask that he be allowed to discontinue the addition and subtraction timed tests at that point. I just feel like if he's having to focus on addition and subtraction still at that point (purely because he has to get at least 3 perfect addition tests and 3 perfect subtraction tests, which will take at least 6 more weeks from now, and not because he doesn't know his facts) that it will interfere with his being able to concentrate on memorizing his multiplication facts. Of course, he already knows at least half of his multiplication facts, but still.
Does that solution seem like a reasonable thing to request?
