I just got an email from DH saying that our school systems curriculum director has agreed to meet with him this week to discuss options for our DS7(nearly 8). I would love any input or suggestions from those of you who have fought this battle before. We don't know quite what to ask for. (besides the impossible of having a fast paced curriculum in a classroom of his gifted peers!) For those of you who suggest radical acceleration in one or two subject fields (which I am leaning towards), do you have any problems with your child (or the teacher) "remembering" to send him/her up to a different class at the appropriate time. When our DS7 was transitioning to third grade, he had a week or so of subject acceleration in order to ease him into it. About half the time the teacher (or my son) forgot to leave his classroom and go up a grade for an hour or so. Is this a common problem or does it become routine after a while? Also what happens when there is a jump from the elementary school to a middle school class? (say when he would be in sixth grade for most of the day but move up to seventh for a math or science class?)
