Funny aside - the social studies teacher actually requested a sub for his class so he could attend the IEP and make sure my kiddo got into the gifted class. He said it was a much better fit for my son and that it wasn't fair to the regular ed teachers to have a child who couldn't think inside of a box constantly disrupting the class and derailing the lesson with off-the-path conclusions that were a much better fit for the gifted classroom.
I'm so glad it's all come together. It is always wonderful to hear about a teacher who totally gets it. We had a similar remark from a teacher recently: "We need to get him in the right place, because if he keeps trying to teach the other first graders division, their poor little heads are going to explode."
