I'm not sure this is the right forum. My partner and I have a six year old boy about to start 1st grade. He had a really hard time in kindergarten making friends and constantly getting into trouble. He was reading at 4 and several years ahead in math. He has an excellent memory and is completely obsessed with George Washington and our solar system. The school suggested that we get him tested, but my partner is absolutely against it. He feels that it's absolutely a big waste of time and they're just trying to put a label on him to ship him to another school. I feel like my hands are completely tied. Does anyone have advice or has personally run into the same experience?
