I emailed DS7's teacher this morning to try and plan a meeting including everyone who is involved with his education. The plan was to work out an educational plan so that next year he didn't have to spend 3/4 of the year bored to tears like he did this year. Whether that involved a skip, or something else, was up in the air - I was open to all kinds of suggestions. I received a return email from the teacher from a grade ahead who teaches his math class...."With all due respect, weren't you bored in elementary school? And you have a Masters' degree...."
Really? A TEACHER, of all people, is telling me that it's okay for a child to be bored and not learn anything in school?!? Although I don't like the idea, and I don't think it will be possible with me working full time, homeschooling is looking better every day.
