I since we don't really want him to skip another grade... Is this the point that we suck it up and realize that school academics may never be a great fit?
So I'm confused. Is 3rd grade math a good fit or is it single digit addition - I don't really know what RIT is, so maybe that is what is confusing me.
And...sad to sound like a broken record - if the 3rd grade teacher is great, and interested in keeping you child challenged, and the work is a good fit, why would you settle for keeping him in 2nd with a teacher who doesn't care?
Not that there aren't really good reasons to avoid another skip, there are - but what are yours? And are they really worth accepting that his schooltime will be an actual waste?
My son has been both accelerated and decelerated during is academic career, both have been wonderful, needed and have had tradeoffs. That's my bias.
love and more love,
