Today's meeting with the new principal couldn't have gone better. He was open to all sorts of ideas; subject acceleration, grade acceleration, morning kindergarten and afternoon first grade, etc. He is excited to meet Carver and gets that educating a child like this has to be a partnership. I feel confident that if we stay here, Seasons Elementary should work just fine for Carver. Regardless of how he tests next week, Carver will need some sort of alternative education just to make sure he isn't bored. Perhaps more importantly, I learned that everything taught in kindergarden, aside from fine motor skill practice, Carver has learned.

It's funny, I think that every mother wants their child to be the best and brightest that they can be, but I'm a bit overwhelmed by the possibility that he might need to skip a grade.
