I could ask about accelerating again, as was done last year, but I have gotten the message (without it actually being said) that this is not in the cards. It would be hard to say if he should go to magnet 2nd or gen ed 2nd and might raise some hackles. In a typical school environment, he would be a very strong skipping candidate, but due to the magnet's high work expectations, we didn't really consider it, and I've come to the decision that it's likely too late. It's a good idea to ask the teacher to talk to him.
