My third grader just received a 98 core score on the Iowa tests.
He scored 99 in math catagories, but scored a 55 in punctuation.
He says he's bored in class because the teacher repeats things over and over.
I don't want to put him in a program that he is not qualified for.
I also don't want him wasting any special abilities.
Are there programs available to you son at the local school? Are their other programs you are considering?
It would be nice to get him some IQ testing - since he has a school problem (bored) perhaps the school will do the testing? Or you may prefer private testing.
Children can be bored from a variety of reasons...but it's worth looking into if he has special educational needs that aren't being met.
