He was tested for math and though they didn't say what level his math is but his teacher said the result was very high , but that particular teacher still thinks teaching them the basic math is still better . Why not letting him do what he's capable of .. i don't understand either .

Sounds like you've made a bit of progress getting a "better educational fit" for your son. It is a start. When will he start going to the 2nd grade classroom for reading?

Do you know what test they gave him for math? What would you think about asking the school for your son's scores?

Do you have a sense of what kind of math your son is capable of doing? Has he shown you he has learned math not taught in his classroom?
