    he's done the things in the test for AoPS and could pass that test but i just looked through the beast stuff and theres stuff in there we have not done. thanks for your help, i think we'll go through some of the assessments for Beast Academy tomorrow so i can see how he does with it. i think we'll probably end up starting somewhere in that progression rather than push forward to AoPS with out having all of that covered. i think he'd like it too.

    i looked at an intro to Singapore math a while back and i was LOST, i don't think i could have wrapped my head around it if someone was paying me to. someone else is going to have to teach him that stuff. =)

    thanks again!! i know how busy you guys must all be and i appreciate so much everyone taking the time out to offer us some advice, it's made a big difference for us already.

    SAHM,

    you know i don't know, i do have to say his name sometimes several times before he responds but i assumed he was just tuned out. you're right, it's too easy to get it checked to not just simply do it and find out. thanks.

    If your going for a hearing test make sure the test is done by a profesional. My older brother had hearing issues at 4-5 because of many ear infections but no one knew because he was smart enough to fake the screening tests. It wasn't until the doctor finally recommended a full audiology test in a sound proof room where he couldn't see the tester till they figured out he was almost deaf at the time.

    bluemagic,
    OMGosh good to know yeesh. i'd had his hearing tested as an infant so i thought that we were good to go on that front. my gut tells me it's not his hearing but if being a mom has taught me anything it's that i don't know much.
