In our area testing is part of the IEP and all you have to do is ask in writing for one and the district is required to give one.
Wolf's teacher is allowing him to dictate things to me because he has a perfectly normal writing ability for a 5 yr old and is doing 1st and 2nd grade work. You can't expect physical development to necessarily mirror mental development. It's also just plain wrong to penalize a kid for having age appropriate physical skills when he deserves education that matches his mental development.
I've noticed that Wolf says "I don't know" as a stock answer. It pops out before his brain even kicks in. It is also a lot more prevalent when he is bored and the work is stuff he already knows, which I find rather amusing...
