Thank you! I'll admit that this forum is amazing. I spent much time over my lunch break reading threads, and will continue doing so over the weekend.
We have discussed about challenging him at home. The central issue is that he is already bored at school. We are worried that if he is further ahead of the curve, the boredom could be consequential. We've been trying to feed him books that interest him (biography and history are his favorites), but that is as far as we went. It ain't easy being a parent, is it?
We did try to move him away from academics out of school hours. He does year around swimming, and plays baseball and soccer. He also learns foreign language on Sunday, which, according to his one-time comment, is where he does the most learning. This comment, of course, made us rather sad.
