Do you think the teacher is trying to be helpful in her way or do you think she is trying to prove he can't handle the pace one grade up? I would bring it up either way but the approach would be different.
I am honestly not sure. My gut tells me it is more her being unfamiliar with gifted kids and how they function. He gets straight A's except for writing, and in that subject he has a C. I think that means he needs help. She tends to believe he is just being defiant, or fooling around and not doing the writing.
