[quote=Anonymous]All coaches tell parents their kid is doing amazing. Think about it - why would the coach want to say anything else? They want the kid to keep coming back and praising the parent who is the one paying is a good way to guarantee that. My kid was destined to be a star at lacrosse/soccer/basketball/acting/painting according to all her extracurricular coaches and teachers. Hint: she didn’t become a star at any of those

Kids get bored at school because school is sometimes pretty boring. Doesn’t matter if your kid is in AAP or not, he will still tell you he is bored.

The problem you are likely facing is that your child is great with math and scence - both concrete subjects but has average abstract reasoning skills and this effects his abilities in reading, reading comprehension and writing activities. You can very likely get him in on appeal but watch out when he starts saying he is bored in classes requiring sustained reading and a lot of writing. He isn’t bored so much as he is struggling.
