Oh, and as for damaging his social/emotional needs by holding him back, I really think in hindsight that this was never more than a "threat", because I had the audacity to take the proferred skip, and based on their test scores, ask for even more in the math. Their bad though, as there was no way I could NOT react to that "game"! I think they expected me to beg and plead, and be happy with the original skip (no extra math), despite test scores that showed complete mastery of all elementary math.
LOL. Way to go. Something tells me that they will never play games with you :lol
Good outcome, but scary story nevertheless.
