We have conferences next week, so maybe we'll learn more. From the stuff that comes home, it seems like DS7's class is doing a lot of interesting, challenging, and fun stuff, but DS still asks why he has to go to school. He's not a fan. frown But we as parents are happy with the school. Anybody have any ideas about discovering if DS's complaints about not liking school are just puffery? I know he'd prefer to stay home every day, but other than that I can't figure out if he's just trying to mess with me or if something's not quite right. (As background, he has never liked school. He no longer complains that it's boring, but he still doesn't like to go.)
