Last year we were at a school that does one year advanced math along with kumon. My son hated kumon and did not excel because of it being timed. We changed schools for two reasons we were looking for a place that would level them individually in reading and a school that was a little larger.
Here is where I need advice.
His new teacher leveled him at 2.5 reading level because of his inference skills. He is a major perfectionist and does not want to tell you what he thinks will happens because
he knows he may not be correct. Not sure if I should advocate to get him moved up to where he should be reading at least mid third or just let it go. If I do advocate not sure how to proceed.
Second question they have him doing second grade math which he did last year at school. He is still not completing his math work at school and it gets sent home. It takes him forever to do math. He does not memorize any math facts ever. I'm really at a loss because the work should be super easy. I would say he is just bored but we
faced this problem last year as well. Can a child have a attention problem but just in one subject area?
I really appreciate any insight all of you have.
