Hi PB
I doubt they would let him do a CTY or something like that in class, but maybe. I just can't decide if this is worth going back to the principal about.
We had been just ignoring it, until I broached his teachers about it. Its SOOO frustrating that this teacher is not really interested in dealing with the science wiz - its almost like he finds his knowledge and expertise annoying! And this is a gifted teacher in a gifted school. SHe believes he isn't an outlier so will ask these "test" questions - and if he misses just one - oh he didn't know that so he doesn't need anything. So I thought the differentiation plan was a good idea - but then this seemed so deflating. DS thought it was cool to present to the class though - but I hope that doesn't become the default avenue.
DS also has some good options/opportunities starting in 5th grade - but that is a LONG time from now!
