Golly, that's scary talk: "Your child is too bored to do this work now, so we want to make him do it again next year and see what happens."
Actually some kids who are overwhelmed do say that they are bored, but not usually kids who doing division and reading above grade level.
Advice #1: Suggst that they get a GT assesment, IQ test and Achievements.
Advice #2: If they seem reluctant to follow advice #1, scare them: by saying "Well gee, maybe he has a learning disability, you'd better get his IQ checked."
((I can be so mean sometimes, but some folks do have an easier time telling themselves that they are 'ruling out a LD' than steping into the role of Advocate for a Gifted child.))
