[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why did he bomb the Cogat? If you're going to move him again, you need to get him into appropriately challenging classes, and it sounds like there's some kind of disconnect between his testing performance & his school performance. Cogat & WISC both test roughly the same thing, so a bombed Cogat with good WISC testing would be a bit of a red flag that something is going on. ([b]Did he intentionally bomb thinking he'd go back to private school[/b]? Does he have some kind of undiagnosed LD that could explain the social struggles as well?)[/quote]

Since we'd told him that public was a better place for him academically, I 100% suspect the former. [/quote]
He is using every method at his disposal to tell you this school is killing him. Please listen to him. You are his mother. Isn't the school year almost over? Homeschool him for the rest of the year and put him in a different private for the fall. [/quote]

omg. no. go meet with a psychologist who specializes in school refusal. this is a pattern for this kid. homeschooling is a terrible solution. between the ones saying to file a lawsuit and the ones saying to homeschool, no wonder your kids cannot cope with adversity. [/quote]
My new 7 year old kid did a mile hike Saturday without whining, then a 2.5 hour math enrichment program where he is preparing for a competition, followed Sunday by 2.5 hour bikecamp where his training wheels were taken off for the first time. Speak for your kid, not mine. [/quote]

Sounds like an overly controlled and parent-directed kid. Yes, checks out. parents who put their 2nd grader into math competitions also threaten to file assault complaints for schoolyard stuff, with predictable results for kid’s psyche. [/quote]
