I didn't think you were being critical :0)

The gifted program is Gifted Cluster but it will expose him to peers like him and allow him to move ahead in areas whee he excels. It will also allow him to participate in the Saturday Science Enrichment Program.

I know the program won't be a fix it solution but it will help. I just don't know what to do for him anymore but he isn't getting what he needs right now and while the teacher is happy to accommodate, the school system is pretty much hoping he doesn't test. I get the impression they don't actually WANT kids to test?
