My son is 5.5 and is completing K. He is "very advanced" with "vast knowledge," but fidgets and frequently calls out answers to questions that he knows. The teachers don't know what to do with him outside of requesting that he be tested for ADHD, giving him extra work on subjects that don't interest him, and putting bad behavior marks on his report card. I would like to have him tested for a gifted program at Stanford, Northwestern, Hopkins, Davidson, or Duke. Has anyone had experience with any of these programs for a child his age? Which program would you recommend or advise against? We live in a farming community in NY State with no gifted programs. Thank you.
