Welcome
What I'm wondering is...is ds only mildly gifted or highly gifted? If he's MG, am I making a bigger issue out of his boredom than is really there? Am I attributing behavior issues (inattention and talking) to giftedness when that's not really what it is? I'm so confused. Sorry for ranting and rambling on an on. I guess I want to know what "gifted level" he is and if you think I'm doing the right thing moving him up to 1st gr.
Absolutely not! Your childs personality and learning type tell you more about your childs learning needs than the IQ score or the HG/MG label.
The real question is what do you think needs to be done to help your son with his issues? If you think he is acting out because he is bored then you need to advocate for more challenging work. My advice is to find your son's strenghts and weaknesses and advocate for him based on his idividual needs.
I am sure there are many grade skippers here who can better answer your skipping question, so I'll leave it to them.
Welcome!
