[quote=Anonymous]While being a year ahead in reading in some schools is not considered advanced- it is advanced at this child's school. We had a situation where our son was advanced in reading and the teacher insisted that he had to complete the first grade reading curriculum even though he was far ahead of it. It was miserable and we moved schools. I don't have great advice OP if you can't move or work with the teacher- except to supplement at home with good books. We read aloud from advanced books and talked about the themes to grow comprehension. The math sounds advanced- I supplemented math at home. Not a crazy amount of work, just a bit at night to challenge DS. An advanced math student can go a little nuts at the slow pace of math in early elementary. It was another area where the school would not work with us, unfortunately. [/quote]
