thanks for the suggestion. I do think that may be a better option. Especially since in some areas I would imagine 1st would be boring. So maybe just moving him up levels in certain subjects. I think that they offer that. I have talked with a few parents recently in the district that have said they do pullout with their kids. I don't quite get how it works though. Do they just go in the older classes for certain subjects? Don't the other kids wonder why this younger kids is in their class? Not that that part matters much. Thankfully my DS is a big kid so they wouldn't notice much. He could easily pass as a 6yo now. I am glad you are having success with your son's schooling. And BTW, congrats on the DYS!! I didn't know much about it until recently, but I think we may apply after his testing (assuming he meets the criteria).
