my ds5 is same as yours.
bored.
not happy.
stagnant in his learning...
i am planning to move him into 1st grade in jan 2013, at a different school. a science magnet.
i have discussed this with him and he is excited, but also bummed because he has made friends in his new kinder class, but i figure he has the fun fall/winter holidays to still be a kinderKid and then start new year off fresh in 1st!
i feel good that i did try kinder for him, and all the social that is so important, but i realize the academc part is so lacking that it just isn't worth it for him to be miserable all day when school should be fun experience.
plz let us know how it works out for your son?
my son is turning 6 soon also...
good luck
