To those who suggested asynchronicity - Absolutely!

Grinity, Can you give me more details (author, maybe, or what it looks like on A Good Friend is Hard to Find? There are a number of books with similar titles on amazon.

As to the mention of his IEP, he doesn't have one. Where we live gifted kids don't get IEP's unless they have other issues too. His handwriting doesn't qualify him for an IEP because he didn't test as having a learning disability.

His teacher made up a behavior chart for him. He gets checks for staying in hi seat, etc. She just started it, so I hope it works.
