The only true exception to the "lockstep" is reading, where he's progressing rapidly. I've seen glimmers of this same degree of advancement in math & science, too, but he's never been "unleashed." Wonder what he'll be doing when he is.
My DD isn't at this level of GT, but after years of a PS that wasn't willing to challenge her the boredom, for lack of a better word, set in and the spark went out. Even now she is fighting because she doesn't want to do a partial enrollment this year, when I think one more year is necessary, at least. We are just beginning to understand what she can do now that she can pursue her studies as she wishes and I am always fighting the PS attitude. She is soaring with her studies when given the choices and I am truely amazed. I hope you are able to strike a balance with the school and find something that will truely work for your son.
