Here's how we used A Nation Deceived:

I had a private meeting with the principal where I brought up my concerns about DS and the option of having him skip 1st. She told me her objections (the usual objections) and I just listened. I didn't argue with her. The next week, I talked to her again and I said that I had thought about the points she brought up and I had done some research on it and that studies show that we should not let (insert the usual objections) prevent us from considering acceleration. Then I gave her A Nation Deceived.
