but is really not. I think that DS7 is genuinely happy to be around his friends and LOVES being the know it all and answering all the questions. So, to the teacher he appears happy. At home, there are non stop complaints about it being boring, nothing interesting, waiting for something new to learn etc.

We are likely going to advocate for a grade skip. It's a lot harder to do, I think, if your child appears happy.

What language do I use with the school to relay this message? (Also, I was thinking that I don't need to relay this information, as being happy or unhappy is immaterial here. It's an inappropriate fit and he simply deserves to be where he should be and he has ASKED to skip.)

What are your thoughts?
