If he was excited about it, i'd have a different opinion.
Not knowing his age at all, he SEEMS quite young just based on his behaviour and still needs considerable adult support to feel content and confident...no matter how smart he is.

No need to rush into placing him further up ..if he already has some good teachers and 1-2 good friends. Hope he will latch upon an extra-curricular activity that he can have fun and learn lots from also.

This whole thread made me realize just what type of factors...may actually never reveal a gifted child.
