Zandes,
I am SO happy to hear that homeschooling is working for you! Hurrah! Have you been able to meet with other homeschooling families yet?
Rebecca,
You highlight a very important point. Kids who don't get any challenge in school often become depressed or angry, and eventually may "tune out" altogether. People often perceive pro grade skip parents as "pushing" their child, when in fact the child is the one chomping at the bit. I hope that your son's school will continue to monitor him and make accommodations as neccessary.
