I've had a meeting with my son's teacher and his school guidance consular. As it turns out my son has been down playing his abilities and trying to find new and creative ways to trick his teacher. He even forgot his own name last week. *gasp* His teacher seems to be a bit cool and distant, but that might just be me. His guidance consular seems to be willing to help and offer accommodations, once we have "proof", as to just how gifted he is.
In a little less than 2 weeks we'll begin the process of testing for giftedness. But that's only the beginning, I have no idea how long it will take. In the meantime, what are we suppose to do... just keep going at the status quo? I feel often as is my son is missing out on valuable chances to learn things and expand his mind and surrounding.
I am also afraid that this experience is giving him an ill perception of school and what is required of him.
It's all such a waste.
