Volcano mom, I'd say it all comes down to the audience. Some teachers and principals are supportive of kids that are extrememly advanced and some are not.
I'd defininately approach with a cooperative tone.
His WJIII results should definately give you some credibility in asking for some kind of accomodation.
My DD9 had that attitude in first grade, that doing anything *different* would cause her social difficulty.
By the middle of third she was begging to be homeschooled.
It all depends on the temperment and personality of the child, IMO, some kids are doing well in elementary and find ways to meet their intellectual needs in school and out, for that matter.
In our district is seems that I've seen more than a few HG kids have a real hard time in school k-3. It is supposed to get much better in the higher grades, if the child can wait that long!!!
A good place to start might be in asking for a meeting with the principal and curriculum person and/or gifted coordinator. Bring in the WJ and tell a little about what's going on. See what they suggest, first, rather than start insisting on specific accomodations. I'm not saying you're wrong to see that as a reasonable course, it's just that in my experience, it runs a little more smoothly if you ask them for a solution and go from there.
