Waiting for SB tests results: we got this done.

We think GBRS initially had pulled it down.

Background about kid: Highly matured, he is in 2nd grade, but has completed 4th grade math and language arts. We give it at home on his request (although we would have liked him to be doing other activities). he says he just enjoys doing them. Shy, introvert, does not call for any attention, doe snot even ask when needed. But often would complain about being bored and frustrated at school. He says teacher makes me do things I have done in Kindergarten. We told him to talk to his teacher in Nov/dec, he said he did, but that did not go anywhere.

When he was not accepted, we spoke to his class/AART teacher to understand in class activities. his class teacher said it is difficult to know him, he does not say much, how ever also has no interest in completing any class assignments. When I told her you can challenge him with higher grade stuff, she is now  making him do advanced stuff, in all subjects, and his teacher keeps saying that it was difficult to understand him initially, but he is extremely mature and is able to solve 3rd grade subjects. She is also making him teach areas of his expertise in science to his class students. he gives presentation on astronomy (not just simple planets, but advanced concepts, light years, earth years, calculations in astronomy etc) or human body, He is loving it in class now. for example if other kids are given addition subtraction, he is doing Multiplication,Division,Prime, square root and such problems. He is writing essays about science topics.

Looking for your opinion on how I can put this in cover letter. Can I talk about the latest change and his present class teacher making him do advanced stuff at class? But the same teacher initially had given him low on GBRS? Just looking for your ideas,

thanks
