[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like you have a high IQ kid who doesn't want to do school work. That is, unfortunately, not a strange intellectual profile at all.

It may help to consider your "problem" as two distinguishable issues that overlap.

The first issues is school placement. Absolutely try for AAP, seeking out principal placement and applying for next year. Assignments and tests that are not challenging to your child will only exacerbate his unwillingness to complete them. More challenging work, on the other hand, may engage your child. He may be more likely to complete assignments/take tests seriously. It's, at least, worth a try.

As long as your child is keeping up academically in AAP, AAP is the correct placement for your child.

You may also need to consider enrichment opportunities that will help him to develop more academic grit, especially if AAP turns out not to be challenging enough for your child.

The second issue is the PDA. Even if school work is boring, he needs to do it. That's a life skill he needs to learn to be successful in the upper grades, and in his eventual career.

It's hard, OP. I'm in the thick of it right now too. So I don't have any tips on the latter, but I think approaching these as two separate issues may help you to outline a plan of action for him.[/quote]
