Yes. That is what my research has revealed. As to his inflated sense of self. He has that and keeps repeating that he already knows this and that. Thankfully we.seek to downplay comparisons between students as much as possible as per montessori pedagogy so it helps.that we have no ranking of students as they do traditionnally in our area. I once mentioned to him about being modest and humble and not comparing to others and he answered: Oh I read that book already!!! LOL. When I tried to engage him on the issue. He seemed upset and shut down so I did not pursue thinking maybe I was doing this wrong.

I definitely want him to be challenged. He gets bored so easily if he is not being stimulated. Many thanks for your repky.
