Bah, sorry about that. What are the problems you're seeing that make you think acceleration is needed? You didn't mention them in this thread, maybe just because you assumed we've all seen the same problems and didn't need to be told, but it made me wonder whether perhaps they aren't clear enough to the teacher. It sounds as though what she's saying (and I'd agree, fwiw) is that the mere fact that he *can* do more isn't a reason why he *should*, right now. Perhaps he has enough non-academic challenges at school that it's appropriate for the academics to be easy for a bit, assuming he isn't actively unhappy with that? The conjunction of his choosing a very easy book to read repeatedly and using a baby voice might suggest that he's resisting growing up right now, and maybe that's what his teacher is seeing. Or do you think someone is giving him the message that he's supposed to do those things? Or what?
