Thanks everyone! I think this will give me motivation to ask for harder math and reading. I had already mentioned it after the grade skip but they seemed to think he was learning things he didn't know. His last spelling list was a bunch of 4 letter words ending in -ake. He just finished reading James and the giant peach so it seems kind of silly to me. In math they said he didn't like to explain his work, so he was learning how to do that, but it's for like 5+9 and he has to draw dots and explain how they add... I'm pretty sure he just thinks that is silly and I bet he could learn the same "showing his work" concept in a higher level class. I appreciate all your input!
