I truly believe he is bored. The gifted 4th grade class is only doing 5th grade work. They are still doing multiplication but now using factor trees. It has now been four months of double digit multiplication and division. His teachers rarely respond to our emails and I still haven't heard back from the gifted director although she entailed me two weeks ago and said she would call to schedulean appt. She too is not responding to our emails. Thankfully ds has science which is more hands oon but he got in trouble for chewing on his shirt while doing a test. Some kids twirl their hair, some bite their nails...for some reason my son chews on the collar of his shirt. At this point its hard for me not to take things personally :-(
