Mr W has a new morning teacher the last three weeks whom we had not talked to. We usually talk to the afternoon teacher. He is in with 4 and 5 year olds.
This woman evaluated him last week. And then gave us a copy.
Her academic eval ended at the alphabet, and counting to 10, which she indicated he had mastered.
The addition, subtraction, plus all the geometry she did not do.
She then said he was a little impatient with the other kids and was not working purposefully.
I suggested he was bored.
"No, he is not bored." was her response.
"I disagree. Why did you not eval him past the alphabet?" I asked.
"That is 4 year old and Kindergarten stuff." she said.
!!
"Looking at this list, he knows it all - except for what a scalene triangle is. He knows about 300 words by sight and can sound out many more. Reading is not even on this list and he is reading. He can even search for stuff on google."
"Most of our parents do not work with kids at home.." she said.
"And neither do we."
At this point we are thinking about our options.
