First grade or second grade?

We are trying to move Parker to the second grade. He is being evaluated today by the second grade teacher. John and I feel that it is a no brainer and this is his only opportunity to not fall behind and to stay on track. If he stays in first, he will be repeating skills and not adding much and then next year he will be behind in homeschooling. I just ask you to please pray that the teacher has the wisdom to move him up b/c I don't really want to have to go to the principal. If he stays in first grade I will have to homeschool him to keep him on track. Kind of hard after he's been in school all day. He will be 7 next week. We just weren't sure, initially, what grade to put him in because it is different in different states and countries. After reviewing the first grade curriculum, we feel that second grade is best. Thanks for praying.
