LOL, so true. I often wonder if I am speaking a different language than others around me. Glad that you worked it out. I was going to suggest you showing them some examples of what he was doing at home and expressing concern about him working at a first grade level. Then asking to view and/or go over the results of his assessment to see what lead to them feeling first grade math would be appropriate for him. Looks like it's not an issue any more, but if it becomes one later or if anyone else has an issue...that could possibly be helpful. : )
