Is there any option to make him "jump" to next year ? That's what I did in primary school, when I was getting too bored, my parents and teacher just "jumped" me to the next year, and it worked quite well.
Edit : well it has a lot of pros and some cons, if you care I can elaborate, but it's evidence from an individual case which isn't very reliable so...
What, in your opinion, are the cons?
(I had the option of skipping a grade or two; I "chose" not to. I'm pretty sure this was a mistake, but I'd like to hear the other side.)
Although my 8-year-old son likes his teacher, he is frequently bored at school. He attends a high quality suburban public school in the United States. He has a lot of traits in common with LessWrong readers, and we would like advice for what he can do to counter his boredom. Many of you must have found grade school more or less tedious. What were your coping strategies?
