I've also done assessments on children in DS's classroom with small passages and sight words. I do definitely feel like I have info I shouldn't have!

It does sound like your teacher has her hands full! We do have a number of ESL kids at our school. My son had 2 ESL students in his class last year that were so sharp (and I suspect hothoused!). They were better readers than most of the children in the class and were good buddies with DS. Unfortunately, both of them moved away this year.

Good luck! Hope they find something for your DS to engage him.
