This is where I would use the thing I keep in my back pocket. My son's school struggles with their test scores. If teachers were to not figure out how to educate my son...I have my son's high stakes test scores that I can take...either homeschool or take to another school. They can't afford for me to take his 5s to another school.

I have never had to play that card but believe me I would not hesitate to use it.

And really everyone sees that he is still ahead even with the grade skip at the beginning of the year. How do you hold back kids like that? Just by being him he stretches his teachers to meet his needs.
