I'm curious about all the posts regarding interventions in school. My son is in 5th grade in a close-in lower MoCo school and is excelling - he's going into all the advanced classes they offer next year (though he's not in a G/T center). That said,  -- humbly, I don't want to sound obnoxious...but his Dad and I are both highly educated, top of our fields...so of course we expect our son to be the same. I had ADD, and I think if I ever had been diagnosed, and gotten my shit together including turning papers in on time instead of being marked down, I would have been at an Ivy League school instead of one rung below.

The psych who is treating both of us has said it would be a waste of money to pursue an evaluation because MoCo will not help him as he is "doing too well."

Anyone in a similar situation? Just curious about different alternatives. [/quote]

If your child is doing well in the advanced classes without supports, why do you think he needs supports?  What interventions/supports do you think he needs?[/quote]
