Do you think maybe she's expecting more out of him than the other kids since he's been moved up? It sounds to me that the behaviors she thinks are concerns would otherwise be normal in his grade? Although I don't really know. Just that he's still getting an S but there are the concerns...

I guess I might have to ask her what she means by not pushing him ahead of his ability to function. Does she mean his handwriting would not be good enough to do more advanced things?

sorry, i'm not much help either.
