[quote=Anonymous]Our school recommended the acceleration (First grade teacher, principal, and AART).  In second grade, our principal coordinated one-on-one testing of our child's math skills with someone from Gatehouse.  Using those results, as well as the routine standardized tests, our principal created a specialized plan for our child to telescope in math to a class 2 grade years ahead.  It was our preference that he remain with age based peers for the rest of his day.  The school has asked our permission each year to have our child take SOLs above age level to continue to monitor progress and make sure our child's needs are met.  Next year we are discussing an additional acceleration that will involve our child starting the day in middle school with busing provided by the county back to our elementary school and then an independent study during our child's usual elementary school math time.  Interestingly, our school has so far offered to provide the transportation, but perhaps that will end up falling to us as it did for the prior poster.   [/quote]
