Don't give up quite yet. It isn't easy for any of us...the schools make it hard. If you read through a lot of the acceleration-related posts here, you'll see that many people (including me) have had to struggle. A key is perseverance...if it was easy, there wouldn't really be a big need for a forum like this one.

Can your son's previous school do anything to help?
