I appreciate all of your responses. I'm replied earlier but perhaps it is awaiting moderation
GT is negligible at best at our school and my son is not yet in it until next year. That isn't going to help him much though in class on a daily basis which is what prompted the discussion. Class work is too boring for him and thus he lapses in to his hyper-ish behaviors, which worries me a lot. I asked for Accelerated math as well as the AR, which is what he had last year and he was far better "behaved" in class. That is what I'm trying to get for him this year.
His teacher is very much of the has to learn to be more careful etc, which I don't disagree with, but he is reading at AR 4-5.5 (he likes certain series and doesn't really want to go up to more difficult books, plus because of his anxiety he is frightened of a lot of the content in higher level books) but she is upset that he skips words etc. He still gets 90-100% on every AR test and part of me wanted say, so who cares? Again he has ADHD. He does EVERYTHING quickly. In math he makes careless errors so he can't go on to the "next" level, and is stuck at a level far lower than his abilities.
