Just a bit off topic question. As I was reading through the replies I noticed a disscussion regarding a school with average IQ around 115 not being very receptive to a child of IQ 130 with special requests/needs.
We have one child around mid 130's IQ. The elem school locally has average IQ 115 (they claim) and top state test scores. However, my son was still incredibly bored at the pace and depth of the classwork.
He is now in FT gifted school and excelling (all work accelerated at least a year.)
I'm wondering if this is uncommon for a 130 child to be so bored in the regular classroom. Do you all feel most 130 kids usually get by ok in a regular classroom, especially in a highly educated community?
I guess I always wondered if I made too much fuss about getting him out of there when I know there are probably other kids with his IQ still sitting in the regular classroom?
Thanks!
