My DS5 skipped K and is in first. The pace is WAY to slow for him and he has started acting out. He is a kid who is doing double and triple digit multiplication, word problems, fractions, etc...and they are doing single digit addition. He also reads at least at a 5th grade level and the other kids are learning to read. The school asked to have a meeting to address the behaviors and academics as well. Our school is only K-2 and he is above the 2nd grade curriculum all around. So...I just wanted to know any other experiences that any of you have had with subject acceleration in a public school.
How did it work? Was the child taken out of the classroom and worked with independently? Were computers used? Did any school use online programs like CTY? Did they have one on one? Was it just for certain subjects? Did they work in small groups? Please give me any info you have. I want to have a plan and see what they can do. Thankfully I have support and a great advocate (the psychologist who did DS's testing) coming to the meeting with me. I just want to hear what worked for others to see if that is an option for us.
