There was a child in his year 4 class doing year 5 maths and english. My son was in awe of him and couldn't believe he was able to do that. He hadn't recognised in himself that he was doing exactly the same thing (which I suppose is a good thing).
Should I let it go?
LOL, they are so smart, and yet, they can 'miss' certian things - perhaps they have 'denial' too?
Seems to me that it isn't suprizing that a little bit of tweaking would be needed, and so awesome that there is already a boy doing the same thing that your son (probably) needs. I would certianly talk to the teachers and see what they think of letting yours son go with the other boy. Does that seem practical?
