I did send an email first to the teacher. And she responded in a nice way, saying she understood my concerns and let's meet next week but that he made 3 mistakes on the pre-test for that unit.
UGH. I hate this idea that teachers have that kids who are gifted won't make mistakes. Talk about fostering the debilitating sense of perfectionism that many g/t kids struggle with. Grrr. The teacher and the principal need to be educated.
I might not be reading thoroughly, but did you mention if your child has an IQ test under his belt? Some sort of documentation of his intellectual potential (not his ability to do work without mistakes) might help you advocate better.
