We're having a meeting with the potential new teacher next week. I am planning on asking about pre-testing, even if they allow him to grade accelerate for math, because I know he already knows most of the material. For instance why should he have to sit through lectures on how 3 5's equals 15 when he has known how to multiply for a long time? The problem is that they like giving UNIT tests, which are very specific to the curriculum. For instance "draw a math mountain for such and such equation." There must be another test (like CBM) that will look at actual standards mastered but then they will probably claim that's not "rigorous" enough and he needs to understand the specific curriculum.
