That caught attention from the new principal and he initiated to move DS from 3rd grade to 7th grade math class.
My guess is that no test in the world is sufficient to predict what would happen when you put a 3rd grader into 7th grade math. At a certain point you just have to be willing to try and see. Erich, it sounds like you have a wonderful school system with a bunch of really advanced kids to keep your child company - good!
We ask the schools to be flexible all the time, so I think it's ok to ask ourselves to be flexible as well.
So how is it going for your DS in 7th grade math?How long since the move? My son was full skipped (missed 5th) and Math accelerated (into prealgebra) at the same time, and he had to undo the extra subject acceleration. The next year he did the class over and did very well. Socially the decel wasn't a big deal, although we were worried.
