I suppose I want to prove my point about the two curricula and get what DS needs from them. In the end it is most important for DS to be in 6th grade math next year since he will have completed 5th grade math this year at the public school. But, if I could prove my point about the curricula, then I think they might be less skeptical and possibly less antagonistic towards DS (and us) next year.
We'd like DS to transition to this private school because he will eventually enter this private school system. It's where his best friends are, albeit in the older grade. And they have some programs that the public school doesn't offer. But we're not willing to make the move next year if they won't let him do 6th grade math. We're not even prepared to let them give him a placement test because he will have proved his proficiency by having already completed 5th grade math at his current school (the actual class, not enrichment). It would just be nice if we could persuade them that he is prepared to make the move to Saxon.
