[quote=Anonymous]My son is at a school like you describe, second grade. I was just reading the notes on his report card and feeling even more confident about the education he's getting. He has always been above grade level in both ELA and math, and he alternates between them in complaining about what's too hard. He's always had a small cohort at his level, competing for who's ahead in Lexia, etc. The report card notes spell out the skills the class has worked on and will be working on, what he has specifically mastered, skills he enjoys, and what he could use a little more work on (not because he isn't ready to move along, but to reinforce a stronger foundation).

We haven't pulled him out for advanced work in another class because socially he's not ready, but the teachers have described the ways they differentiate and how he engages in class. They tell me when he's acting out from boredom, and teachers he's had before will share their successful methods to keep him focused. He can get lazy with his work, but when he does well they reward him with responsibility, which is a big motivator. The third grade teachers already know him and are excited to have him next year.

I'm familiar with the FOMO but all of these other factors far outweigh it.[/quote]
