Well, it appears that for whatever reason they pulled DS6 out of the classroom (his normal homeroom) and the math specialist did some advanced math with him including what appears to be some long division work. Apparently she was impressed (her words) and after looking at the worksheet they were doing it actually looks like they were doing work that was new to him.

Now I'm cautiously optimistic... we'll see where it goes... We have no idea what has changed.

P.S. Anyone else have issues updating their profiles? My avatar is gone and I get an error when I try to fix it. Apparently this was specific to FireFox. I was able to us my IE browser to update my profile. Weird.
