Thank you!!!! Sometimes it feels like we are crazy. I've been reading all kinds of posts and definitely am seeing we are so not alone and that is a big relief.
I will definitely look into the IAS and seeing if even 1st or 2nd grade are teaching reading/math at the same time. We just are sensing new administration and wanting to follow some sort of policies of which I've not been able to find in the handbook or their website. And thank you for sharing your experience with grade skip with your son. Yes our concerns were more on social and physical size but like your son ours doesn't seem to care that he is smaller. Just worried that as he got older would that bother him more or still not. And thanks for pointing out its better to get/keep them on the side of our child instead of defensive. Guess that's why I came on here as I didn't want to step on toes or become "that pushy" parent where everyone runs from...
