For what it's worth, the Director of our school seemed very responsive when DW and I went in together to talk. Admittedly, we weren't making any demands. But we described our DS4's abilities and asked whether there was anything special he thought we should do beyond allowing DS to work a level ahead (which he had already approved). He had clearly thought about it and laid out what seemed to us a reasonable plan. I did the talking, and that may have been important. But if I had to guess I'd say it probably helped also that DW was there. Somehow it seemed to present a united front.
