DS is very good at maths.
The school is aware and his teacher often gives him differentiated homework (ie a harder worksheet on the same topic).
The school have no formal g&t programme, as the heads view is that every child is gifted.
But when recounting what he has been doing at school (he is a talker so I get a description) he doesn't seem to be getting work at the right level in class.
I spoke to the maths specialist, when I told her he could do long mulitiplication etc she just said - oh he wont need that for a few years . I was talking to DS about something the other day and fractions came up, he told me that someone at school had told him they were too hard and he shouldn't think about them.
I am happy to do stuff at home to keep him interested, but it just seems like the school are not supportive - should I expect anything from them?
