This was exactly the approach we took, and for the same reason. It totally backfired...elementary school teacher think a kid is smart if they are doing the skills that elementary school do. So all the soul searching converstaions in the world didn't make them think DS12 was more than 'bright.'
Hey, we only did this because we grew up in the school system, and we believed the teachers when they told DH and I that reading ahead of the class was bad. But we snuck peaks into the back of the book anyway....just felt guilty about it.
