Thank you very much. I will bring it up at some point, especially to give extra emphasis to the professional testing results. I guess another question on my mind is whether we should do anything prior to the TAT meeting to advocate.

DS5's current teacher (who turned out to be a naysayer on a grade skip for this year, which I think was motivated largely by the fact that our son's one of the youngest in his grade) seems to be positioning for a recommendation against a skip for next year-- she sent home a note complaining about the fact that he had trouble with his zipper one day, which she said triggered a meltdown, and has said recently that she thinks he is "right where he needs to be" for his level of emotional development. This is a bunch of BS, and prompts a host of questions, such as whether the school would hold back a graduating first grader over a zipper meltdown. But this shows a tiny bit of what we're up against, in our district that has never skipped a child earlier than third grade and states in the district policy that they are against skipping.
