It really helped that she warned me in advance, because his report card is rather average and not what I would have expected from him.
Yes, DS's French teacher said the same - even if she 'knows' he understands everything, she has to mark on the work he's done. But, they are trying, and I now understand a lot better what is happening in class - so that's a positive.
I must admit to a certain naivety when DS was first identified gifted by the school board. I figured - well school should be easy then! So not true!
I think from a previous thread you said you are having your DS tested soon? Hopefully it will give you some answers as to what is going on, and things the teachers can do to make school work better for him.
