[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for the responses. He does have plenty to learn in regular classes in terms of executive functioning. But I teach regular classes at a high school in Fairfax. While my son is not perfect in any way, his reading level, vocabulary, background knowledge, and critical thinking capacity are far above the 9th graders I teach. I have one or two kids in each 25-30 kid class that is kind of like my son. And the class is so far below their level. If there are two students like that in a class, one of them has ADHD and struggles with organization. That kid is dying of boredom and not able to perform despite the class being low level. I fear he will give up on school completely soon. I agree that boredom is not the most terrible thing -- but it is terrible if it makes you give up on trying hard in school. School is a tough fit for this type of kid. He did have a CAP at parochial school and was part of the resource program. [/quote]
