[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 714246, member: 1233"] In so many ways you are raising my son. You have more info than I did when my oldest was your son's age, and my oldest was more advanced, but they are so similar. I still remember the day I called my son's school to say he was staying home because he was up all night teaching himself division. He was in first grade. It was the start of October. The principal called me and accused me of lying. It got ugly. They couldn't teach him because he was smarter than they were, they couldn't figure out what to do to keep him engaged because he was booooored ("try not being boring" was NOT considered a helpful suggestion when I mentioned it after several long meetings where they kept shooting down every constructive suggestion I gave them.), and then I learned how hard they would fight an IEP and I was DONE. We homeschooled because they were determined to make him miserable and I was able to at least keep him engaged. I couldn't do worse than they were doing. [/QUOTE]
