Thank you to you both for responding - I think I thought my email would alert me to responses so I hadn't been back to check! Oops!!
Well, the school tested him and I didn't know. So now I need to find out if they will take "an outside" test (if he fails) because typically they only allow testing once a year. I was hoping to pull the trigger before the month is up & then he came home saying he took one.
He takes it personally that he doesn't get the enrichment (gifted) homework yet he makes simple mistakes on things I KNOW he knows. His mind isn't on his work. I feel like what I know as a mom isn't good enough because he can't "prove" it.
I could go on & on about my gut instincts but I'm sure everyone has heard it before. I just want to KNOW he's getting the support and attention he needs. And it's frustrating because I cannot prove he needs it. They just see him as a slacker.
If they came into my home & saw the bedroom stacked with fictional character bio's & drawings, they'd know slacking isn't the issue. He doesn't watch tv, he sits & creates for hours on end. Ugh...I'm rambling.
