I will drop the IQ argument with school. I am understanding better.
The GT and regular teacher said she doesn't think testing out works there is more to this then the results a pencil and paper can show.
The math instruction is very slow and repeative. He is doing condensed 3 & 4th Grade math this year. He is finally working on Multipliction which is good - He is learning. He feels like he is not being challenged in the math and it's so little new information. I wanted them to test him out of units to do something else - mindware Math books, he loves. This seems like a better use of his time. It feels like the school is holding back his progress. I don't mind if they slow the pace thru the grades if they give him condense and give appropriate enriched activites. He says Math and Math enrichment are to easy. They are open to him bringing in an enrichment class but he will still need to do the regular work. I think they need to free him up from somethingto allow time for more.
