Thanks for the replies. The school has made some progress. The gifted testing head spoke with the school. We also had another meeting. Instead of fighting us, the school came up with a pretty good solution i think. They are going to put the boys in the K class all day mon and tue when they focus on math and reading. The curriculum is first grade math and reading, which is an improvement. They will keep the kids in pre K for wed to friday when they do class projects and other specials. This will allow the kids to stay with their first school friends whom they adore and really want to be with. Seems like a reasonable compromise right now, and we will see how it works. I was actually impressed with how the school got the pre k and k teachers together and figured out a plan that addressed our concerns. We are really hoping for 2 acceptance letters in march to the new school.
