Looking for advice and opinoins. Here's my situation in a nutshell.
DS7 is currently whole grade accelerated once, twice in math. So this year is 2nd grade with 3rd math. The school had him take the Stanford Achievement test but gave him the 4th grade version as out-of-level testing. We don't have those results back yet and might not get them from the school until August (depends on how fast the company gets results back to the school).
We are hoping the school will use this information to further modify our son's curriculum/program. Although he is accelerated, the pace of the curriculum continues to be too slow. He is getting some new stuff, but too much repetition. And reading level at school is not keeping up with how fast he is advancing at home.
We continue to battle most nights about doing homework. The battle lasts much longer than the homework actually takes. He looks ADHD when doing the homework - tons of attention errors, spacing out, making noises, moving all over, up/down from the table, etc. I believe this is due to boredom with the homework NOT ADHD. We had ADD/ADHD ruled out previously.
DS was tested two years ago. I am thinking we should test again. I found a place nearby us that actually specializes in testing g/t kids and focuses on learning styles, etc. as well as ability and achievement. Would you guys test again? Should I wait another year to test again? I think we should test to figure out where to go from here - but maybe I should wait for the school to get those Stanford scores back? What do you think?????
Thanks for being a sounding board!
