So we met with the school principal, teacher, counselors. Basically they said we would not be able to get an IEP because my son is meeting the grade two benchmarks for academics. They didn't care that he was 2e. The principal said that there are a lot of gifted kids in the school. The meeting was quite futile because they wouldn't accelerate him or help him with his challenges. He just needs to adjust better in the classroom. So, as parents we are going to do a hybrid of homeschooling and regular school. Planning on signing him up for online academic courses to supplement the school. I think of school as a social setting where he can learn from peers and do recess and learn to listen to authority. The real learning can be more self paced at home.
