Grinity, you've got me thinking.....
I AM convinced DS would thrive if he did a grade skip with an additional acceleration in math, in the right school. Where he is isn't it, and it's April. I don't see that even our lovely local elementary school is going to get on board with taking him back as a 4th grader at this late hour (though if I pursued this back in November they might very well have jumped on board).
I also think DS lack of effort in writing is strategic, and that if he were in a setting where expectations were significantly higher he would meet them.
I really appreciate your insight.
