Believe it or not, my some is just like this. Not sure what to do with him. He did much the same thing with the periodic tables last year. Not doing super well in school though. He has a hard time focusing on what is being taught. Time will tell but for now I signed him up for Little league so that he learns some concrete lessons. Not just theoretical.
Might not hurt to read up on the physics of baseball so you can show your son how it appears in real life.
Years ago I remember reading about how a pitcher would have a tough time throwing a curveball on mars. I was awed by it.
Trust me. Home school him. You won’t regret it. Get him out of public schools as fast as you possibly can.
You may be able to homeschool in some things, and utilize the public system for special things. The big thing is to make sure he is grounded and moral. Kids like this tend to be as questioning philosophically as they are scientifically, and if you are not careful, they may feel they “know more than you” in moral pursuits also.
If you keep them straight spiritually, all the rest can be accomplished.
All through school, from elementary to high school, I kept getting in trouble for having a science fiction novel hidden in my notebook which I read during class. I loved the “hard” SF where the science was accurate.
When Ronaldus Magnus gave his Star Wars speech in 1983, I was the new engineer in my department at a huge aerospace company. The Boss asked in despair, “Does anyone here understand space weapons like lasers, particle beams, and railguns?”
I spoke up, “Sure, I know all about space weapons.” Six months later I won our first contract sole source. We flew the first SDI experiment on the Space Shuttle in 1984. It was my idea.
“He has a hard time focusing on what is being taught.”
Look into getting your son into a program for gifted students; lots of towns have them these days.
Being held back by the class numbskulls, he’s probably bored sh*tless where he is, and this boredom, if not rectified, could impede his growth and put a big dent in his prospects for success. I’ve seen it happen many times.
