My first reaction is to agree with you that some of the behavioral problems will subside once your DS is challenged in school, because I know that boredom can be such a huge factor in this type of scenerio.
I guess I agree that it can't hurt to bring it up and state your case, but to be prepared to listen to their reactions.
Can the school/teachers give specific situations of behavioral problems including the trigger that caused them (in which case you can pinpoint whether his behaviors were triggered more frequently in academic situations or social ones)?
Discussing this might help everyone decide together what would be best for your DS.
