thank you.
as of now, he doesn't have friends outside of school. he had one he used to hang out with, but they don't get on well any longer...
he does have a LOT of time for socialization in his classroom, and he plays with his siblings, and his cousin came to visit and he actually had fun playing with all of them! (she is also gifted, almost 9, but lives 10 hours away)
i'm so glad to hear some of this will sort itself out with time, as he does really well at times, and really poorly at others - but i suspect a lot of it is that he is often at odds with his current teachers. i'm prepping him for the concept of entering 7th grade public school this fall - which will put him in high school courses as well. i'm nervous. i start to 2nd guess my plans for his siblings, but so far, they're still thriving in their montessori environment.
