Err, yes - ask me how I know ;-/ Actually I think we've talked about this and many of us have this experience - for me, and I think for others, this is a huge part of what motivates the attempt to get appropriate challenge for our children. Great for your son if he can get that while still at school and with you to support him. And at the very least it sounds as though he's going to be interested!
