My son is having trouble in school because he blurts out answers ( they are right answers) here are the examples teacher gave me Friday:
1) They were reading a book in class and at the end the teacher asked what the meaning was, it was a pretty hard question and would require thinking, DS had it already in his head and just told the teacher the moral of the story!!
2) The teacher was teaching the class and right now they are looking at pictures to get the word so the word was DANCER teacher asks what the word is and what sound does the end make, DS blurts out DANCER and the ending sound is ER!
3) DS has subtraction down so he does not need the help of stacking cubes, so he asks what 4-2 is and DS blurts out 2!
That being said he told me that alot of times if DS did not say the answer there would still be a room full of silence with a bunch of eyes on him, he told me that DS was one of the smartest in his class!
He is ready for the accelerated reading program at school but right now not able to go to that because the teacher does not trust him to be able to walk down there without running and I guess not to distrupt the class there, the teacher wants us to work on behavior here at home with his compulsivity, I have no clue what he wants us to do, While in the meeting DS was being talked to by all of us and while I was talking DS was making yaking motions with his hands, after DS left the room teacher said that I should not have even talked to DS while he was doing that!
When asked if he showed signs of having ADD or ADHD I was told that although teacher was not a DR, he would say NO that DS could control ALL his behavior if he chose to!
The teacher says that Ds is showing signs of being gifted although that won't be confirmed until he is 8 or 9!!
What do you guys make of this?
