[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, if it's truly because your child is so advanced, then see if he could [b]test into skipping a grade[/b]. If not, then ask the teachers if he can bring a book to read once he's done with his class work. Even advanced kids generally aren't advanced in all areas. You might want to check with his pediatrician to see what else might be going on.[/quote] At BASIS, no way. Admins aren't allowed to consider it, not the model, not in marching orders from AZ.[/quote] Is this actual knowledge? Seems to me Basis would be on board if a kid were truly so advanced they could skip to the next year - why not? But - proof of the pudding is in the eating as they say. Your kid better be able to pass those (7th grade) comps (every class) - if he can do that - by all means, why not skip a grade? I haven't yet heard what the OP's kids grades are. Is he getting 100% in all his classes? Or his he too "bored" to bother to get good grades?[/quote]
