It's not odd, my son is highly gifted and only really cares about sports anymore. He excels at anything he has tried. Our school has 2 different programs. We attempted just regular school plus enrichment at 1st, then skipping for math. But we can tell he has become to bored with school and we think that is why he puts EVERYTHING into sports. We are lucky enough to have a school for the Exceptionally Gifted Students allowing him to work at an accelerated pace.
