    I can see that happiness disintegrating over time too. I think it was assumed that ds will be in the TAG school next year and that because of that, the level of information presented will be challenging and that if he wants to pretend that he is learning whatever is being presented, he is welcome to but the pretending wouldn't last for long. smile
    DDs TAG teacher, after hearing the 3rd grade rec, suggested taking it month by month.

    I'm just happy to know that I can relax a bit and allow ds to thoroughly enjoy himself while slacking off. smile This is his one chance at childhood and I want it to be a happy one (but not at the expense of his happiness as an adult!).

    I had to out the boy yesterday. I went to a parent tea at the school and the principal spoke for a long time about how hard the entire staff was working to get all of the kindergarteners recognizing all of the letters. She said that anyone who had extra time was going to the kindergarten classes and pulling out students to tutor them.
    I couldn't let them use their precious time on ds, so I emailed the teacher to let her know what he can do. She thought it was a hoot.
    The little stinker couldn't recognize any of the shapes yesterday. Oh, he is going to be a fun one to try and educate!
