This is so hard. I have him in kindergarten and don't know if we want to advance. I'd like to give them a chance to get through the assessment tests but I'm worried. Reading starts at letter regonition, he's at least at a third grade level. But there's other things that I think he'd do better in kindergarten like art and music. They also do projecs which I know his teacher can tailor for him and I think she will.

It's hard to advocate when I'm not sure what would be best. He hasn't had testing and I don't know if the school will pay for it, it's a small charter so probably not. We went with the school though because they clearly will listen to the parents.

I do think they can notice where a kid is at, I think my sons teacher is interested and will do her best, but I'm not sure she has the resources around her to do so.
