It has been a struggle to get him to school every single day for months,with attendant tears on many occasions.
Sorry, Ultra, I sometimes get mixed up about whose kid is doing how.
Is a gradeskip an option? Would he get any appropriate work in the K-1 split? Is there another local school that would be better suited? Is there an amazing teacher who can do serious, sustained differentiation? Can he become a first grader in a 1-2 split instead, giving him access to the 2nd grade work while still being with peers close to his size/age?
You might not need to bring in any big guns to solve this; what is your district's acceleration policy? It ought to help that the school people know your DD?
(And you have probably answered all those before elsewhere; but the search function doesn't get me there very fast.)
I think HK's perspective on being the teacher helper is a good one.
