    My advice- if the school knows he's gifted and they do not accelerate him, chances are they will not. I think you should seek other options. It will not be an easy road though and you might seriously consider one parent being a predominant educator for him, as schools will NOT be able to accommodate all his needs. I would look into an online virtual school. Try it out and share your experiences.

    If you do this, you are giving your child a wonderful future life rather than one of mediocrity and torment.

    Thank you Bluestar for the advice .

    Outside the school , since he hasn't learned anything he already knows , he studies with me at home . I gave him more stuff for him to learn , more books that he can get more knowledge . Because even at school , the library books he can borrow was limited to a 4th grader book .

    The school just started mentioning about the gifted test about couple of weeks ago . And it all started from his behavior that was very disruptive from talking too much in the class . The school realized that he's very smart , and though he does all those things in the class it doesn't effect him and his grade but it does effect other students who's trying to learn still .

    We'll see how the school handle this , and we'll go from there .
