I'm just contenplating here. We are really not ready to grade accellorate. I would like to hear others opinion.
My son could use grade accelloration but the sports are very important to our family. There are some very good athlelets in our family. My husband even held records for many years at his highschool. Some have received Sport college scholarships.
My son does well. Not a superstar. He is one of the smaller kids but not smallest. If he moved up in school then he would have a disadvantage. I feel like sports are a big link with him and the kids in his grade. There are a few boys that are excelling in the sports that are also smart. I'm not sure if they are where my son is. Intellectually I think he feels a little outside with his peers but ok.
This year he just started basketball. I'm so excited for him playing with all his teammates from school. This feels very different from his community sports. Even after 3 years, of the same soccer team we feel a little outside because the boys go to public school together. He could keep in his age with the community sports and miss the school sports but that would be sad.
