Right now ds thinks teacher X works with "kids who are good at math/ ELA". Part of the problem is ds struggles with math but is 2+ years ahead (which I know is not huge), so he gets pull out for that. Somehow, he is 5+ years ahead in reading, vocab and comprehension, but doesn't get pull out for that. (Stupid public school criteria). Also, next year, he is going to go to hg school. I and the head of schools at the new school have told ds that he thinks and learns differently, and will have peers at the new school.
As he has no friends now, but knows he's different (has for 1+ years); I'm wondering if more explanation would help him feel better. He also wants to speak to the head of the new school again to get more info about how the school is different from his current school. I'm wondering if he's looking for more answers/ info about giftedness.
