Cool Dottie! Plus they often tell teachers and other adults what they want, as opposed to what they might tell their parents - what they think we want to hear, etc...
And well, I was just told that they are not going to mention the whole grade acceleration right now to DS (see the Kindergarten thread in the Elementary School forum), so by the time he's done with the testing and sees what kind of work he COULD be doing then his own input will be easily swayed towards doing challenging things than just sitting there.
And I was kind of sad he didn't have any of his pre-K friends in his K class this year, but now, NO WAY. If he had them in his class now, he'd be less likely to want to change.
