JB -
I like the plan of going in 'only' to listen to 'where the teacher is at' and make an appointment to have an other meeting.
OTOH, You should bring handwritten Math samples to show what level he is at. I think that you should also go to the Saxon Math website, figure out what level he is at, and buy the next few levels of Math workbooks that are at his challenge level.
If all goes well, then you can have your son work in his workbooks while the rest of the class does 'their math.' If it doesn't then you can use them at home. I'm a big fan of making the kids work at their readiness level, even if it's only 10 minutes a day, with a parent or friend afterschool, just to get them 'in the groove' of 'yes, they will be expected to work above and beyond, fair or not!'
This is one of those 'do as I wish I had done' advices.
Good luck!
