Will the pulling out and putting back in be hard on him? I know that sometimes kids who have trouble with change can balk at it. It's not a very orderly way to spend the day. Plus it's an everyday sort of change, and for kids who don't transition well, it can be a lot to handle day-in and day-out. Just something else to consider... (As if you don't already have enough!)

*Please* don't think I oppose subject acceleration. I think it is a GREAT option! One of the best, actually! But based on what you've said about your particular child, I can see some potential problems to watch for in your case. I think you want to be prepared.

Personally, I think that keeping a kid with a good teacher is one of the very BEST reasons not to skip! A good teacher is worth her/his weight in gold!

But I still think that if you haven't taken at least a quick look at "A Nation Deceived," you should. Maybe you don't need it now, but I suspect it might be useful to you later. My $.02...worth about half that! smile
