I wonder if the school would be willing to try a temporary gradeskip into the next older grade, especially since recess is better when the older kids come out to play, and gifted or not, your kid appears to have a 'photographic memory' for books and audio input.
- does that make it a 'photo-phonographic memory?'
But what books does he read at home, for fun. Does he read for fun at all?
at least 400$ is fairly cheap in terms of IQ testing...given the trust pattern, it's possible that future testing might go better. What did your son think of the tester?
I would guess that the lack of motivation is directly related to the poor fit in his current classroom.
Love and More Love,
