I would see if you can't get him into the gifted and talented program at school. I think they can get tested after they finish kinder. I hate to hear that your son has been labeled a "behavior problem" when he's really just bored. I know there are magnet schools around but they are (I think) mostly for older kids or inner city, low socio-economic populations. I'm not sure where you live but I know of several private schools in Mckinney and Frisco that are excellent and (I think) set the standards for learning higher than public schools. I don't think that labeling him with "ADHD" is necessary b/c he's just bored. Personally, I think that teachers are quite capable of handling "acting out" with kids and should be able to keep your son challenged. I think that every child, at some point, does experience acting out just as part of growth and development. So, I would see about getting him into gifted and talented or into a private school. Concordia Christian Academy in Mckinney is excellent. I've also heard of the Christian academy in Frisco as very excellent. Good luck!
