I agree with what the others have said here, but I just wanted to let you know that I sympathize and that we've been going through the same thing with our 3rd grader (stomach aches, headaches, hating school). She has not had a full IQ test, but her WASI FSIQ was 134 with a VIQ of 140 and PIQ of 119. I originally thought the school should be able to serve her in the regular classroom, but it's obviously not happening. I agree with the others that kids are different, and how they respond to the regular classroom depends on many factors. You are doing the right thing by questioning this.
