Even with an awesome teacher and a formal diagnosis, they never really noticed my kid was smart last year. In the spring, they read "A little egg lay on a leaf..." and were shocked when DS wanted to discuss the life cycles of insects. They didn't expect him to know that. (Good thing they didn't read a book about a happy little gene on a leaf, not sure what they'd have thought when he explained about how proteins are built from DNA )
I'm in a bad mood, right now, but I guess I'm just saying. Whatever will be will be. In K it's so easy to dismiss complex ideas as confused (because the kid knows more about that than the teacher), or to assume the kid is simply rambling meaninglessly.
