    Thanks for the replies! It sounds like there's not much we need to do. He likes math & reads great so other than that, I guess it's just adjusting to the comments. I don't say anything unless someone specifically mentioned the next grade level. It's been odd but hopefully he'll have an easy time. The principal said they're so self involved at that age, there shouldn't be much question.

    Nice. Love parent support. Feel bad for kdis with learning disabilities and wonder if every says such stupid things to them as well.

    The flawed notion is that skipping or services is about their abilities. It isn't because I'm trying to simply match how much this kid knows now. It is how fast she keeps learning. Even if there are holes in a skip it is the fact that you could compact the year worth of math and cover it in about 4 weeks. Grrr. I feel your pain.

    I wish I'd never talked to anyone outside of the "circle" of gt people about our issues. In general it just causes more grief. Like suffering a mc or stillbirth and people suggest it was for the best. grrr. where is the chocolate!
