Thanks for all the thoughts everyone. We will have several months to decide on the grade skip for next year.
In the meantime, DS6 will be accelerated in math only. The gifted support team at the school has presented two options: he can move up to 3rd grade math right now or he can stay in the 1st grade classroom and do ALEKS during math time.
ALEKS would be the least disruptive, but I feel like it is the modern day equivalent of giving a kid a workbook and putting him in the corner.
What would YOU do?
