[quote=Anonymous]Parents are the strongest influence on behavior at this age, so you should be fine. As for the "above average" bit, later elementary (3-5) class placement will decide what academic track your kid is on when they hit middle school, which plays directly into their HS classes. My kid almost missed the advanced math track because, while he was the smarty in his ES math, they didn't bump him up to the next level because there weren't enough kids to justify the class/split class. We were able to get it corrected in middle (he skipped a math level and we got a tutor to fill in any gaps), but that's not always possible. So you may want to consider what advanced placement options your student will have toward the end of ES, if you think they're above-average enough that it might make a difference in course placement and eventual academic trajectory.[/quote]
