DeeDee - thanks for the good advice,
As to why leave him in there - he likes the teacher, and, for the most part, the teacher gets him. He tolerates my son's incessant questions, entertains his interruptions during class when he is questioning a theory or fact that leads to deeper thought. All in all, he is an excellent teacher - just totally ignorant about the reality that a boy that bright and that LD can be packaged all together. The teacher is the fixable part, to me. He's not reading ridiculous motives into things, not accusing my son of lying, and deals straight with him - even when it is to tell him he won't do something in his IEP.
The one who really concerns me is the special ed principal who has decided certain truths about my son that are far from the "truth".
