We are accel. guinea pigs here too (first time ever done in the history of the school.... SAD! I KNOW! But hey, they have to start somewhere). We just did one grade accel. for now so we could get a positive experience and debunk any myths that are common with accel. I am in teh same boat. Guess what... DC is not challeneged still! BUT... I do see challenge in other ways besides curriculum, which is positive. DC now switches classes, has a locker, has multiple teachers, is learning to take notes, and learning time management skills. So far, those changes have been enough to keep her occupied (I'll get back to you around Xmas when the fall out usually happens and let you know where we stand! HAHA!) BUT, I keep asking myself, would we allow another skip? Would we consider subject, though DC is strong across the board. Then I way in how much of a skip will the actual social start playing a role? I don't know that there is a right answer. All's that I can suggest is not to go too drastic at once because if it isn't successful you can prob. forget about the school trying it again or being as accomodating. Maybe taking baby steps, re-evaluating where you are at, and proceed from there would be a better approach (at least that is what I am going to try.)
Good luck and keep us posted!
