I will hopefully start meetings with his school next week. I feel a little nervous about it as I am usually someone who tries not to make waves. That is kind of why I decided to have him tested: I was hoping the tests would speak for me, at least a little.

So far, his teacher has told me both that they want to do some acceleration and that wherever he is placed will likely still move too slowly for him - especially in math. So it is hard to know what to do. It is good to know that your son is doing OK so far.

The thing I worry about most with him is that he will never develop any sort of work ethic because he never has to work hard. Has acceleration helped with that?
