So what do you do as your child pulls away from one grade above placement? Two grades? Beyond?

This is something I am anticipating as it was already happening when we were homeschooling. We decided to put him in school this year to "slow him down" because otherwise we would have been doing high school level work across the board at home. When we did the initial skip with the extra math acceleration, I really thought it would be enough but within weeks it was apparent that it was not. He is coasting through everything, which I something I'm trying to avoid. Once he actually gets some instruction he can use, I'm guessing he'll take off again. Then, you're right, it will be time to make a new plan.
