My son (5.5 yr) is another - quiet, shy, and hardly ever speaks in class. His teacher didn't know he could read till the formal assessment, still doesnt know his math abilities. He's happy as a clam counting M&Ms with the other kids.

LDmom, let me introduce you to DS12... Okay, now you know at least one other PG kid who is NOT so outspoken, wink .

My kid only fits LDmom's description when he's with family. Otherwise, he is quiet as a mouse. In fact, he's told us he always behaves when there are teachers around so as not to ruin his perfect streak of no consequences at school.
