I think teachers probably get a bit jaded by every parent thinking their child is amazingly brilliant (which...of course parents think their kids are great!) . But when a child is truly gifted, teachers may think it's the same old 'my child is special' mantra they hear every year. Since it's the beginning of the year, hopefully his teacher will have lots of time to really get to know your ds' talents. Frankly, if most of ds' preschool teachers were impressed with his early reading and advancement, they kept it to themselves - even though they knew he was the only reading 3 year-old in class.
His prek teacher last year made a few comments...but it was the assistant
teacher who finally (at least in my eyes) talked with me about ds' hunger for learning and ability to retain knowledge. Up until then, I wasn't sure ds was asking the in depth questions and displaying his ability to quickly synthesize information the way he did at home.
