Thanks again to all for the helpful posts. I don't think we had considered all of our options before this. As a couple of people have pointed out, why worry now about next year? None of us think he'll have any trouble with this year. If it turns out he struggles next year for whatever reason, there are tons of options, including EPGY. We don't have any experience with ALEKS, but our older son did EPGY for a year and it sounds similar.

I can't imagine why we hadn't thought of some of this before. My husband and I talked and agreed we'd reopen the conversation with the teacher. We're pretty sure she'll go along if we feel strongly (she's proven that she really wants what's best for him). IF he makes the cut-off, that is. He has a few more weeks to go.

Thanks thanks thanks for the help.
