Arrrgh! Got a call from DS8s teacher yesterday. He is not doing his work and then lying about it. I guess he told the teacher he had turned it in, when he hadn't, then told her that it was in his desk and finally pulled it out of the recycling bin. She says she recognizes he is smart and wants to accelerate him, but she needs to see he can do the work first. She is planning on sending home a behavior contract today, but we are also supposed to find out if he is going to be put in above grade level math for this year. I am afraid she won't recommend him based upon his performance (or lack thereof) this year. If he doesn't get the above grade level math I think it will just aggravate the situation.
