Martie:
I'm curious as to why your DH is so adamant about NOT accelerating. Especially at this early age. I have to say that at first my husband and I were worried about it, but the more we got to know our sons abilities and level the more convinced we were that he had to be accelerated if he was going to attend the public school.
We do not regret having accelerated him. He is socially doing fine (as far as we know). He would have been absolutely miserable in kindergarten. Our only issue now is that the skip wasn't enough!
Has your husband read A Nation Deceived or Genius Denied? That was how my husband came around, after seeing the information presented there. I'm not saying that acceleration is the answer for your son, it is not right for every child. But there are times when it just makes sense.
