thanks!

I thought of that. He's the kind of kid who would wait for them to catch up. You know how some kids get bored and talk or act up that is how you find out they are gifted or accelerated or something. He would wait quietly at his desk. But the "as far as they can go" thing is there a too far? Can kids know so much they seem weird? I don't think he'd wear his knowledge on his sleeve, but how much can you really tell at 4?

My fiance wants me to promise that he'll go at some point, but problem is, he'll probably know more than his peers, and be put in a class where he is younger than everyone (it happenend to me) then the perceived benefits of going to school would be lost on him anyway. Is it really better for him to learn more than what is required if he is going to go to school eventually anyway?
