It sure sounds to me like Mite is looking for peers, and yeah, the 5th grade gifted cluster will probably do for him what 6th grade regular would.
How many weeks till school starts? Does his gaps in 6th grade math have to torment you - or can you pay or the school provide someone to midwife that jump. LOL people don't get why a parent would want a kid skipped to the point where they'd need tutoring - but it's all about the social fit, really - we're educating the whole child - and remember - the bigger the gap the more flexible and supportive the other kids tend to be. It's easier to be philosophical about the "tiny freak" while the kid from one grade down who's tall and broad also can be seen as another competitor. Honestly I'm only bringing it up after hearing Mite's comments - he knows where he "feel" comfortable - what might meet his social needs.
