LOL - DS10 couldn't teach himself from Aleks at age 9! But just because they can't teach themselves, doesn't mean that they don't deserve to learn. Same here with DS10 not wanting to do school work at home, he wanted appropriate work at school.

I think it's not uncommon for boys to be less willing to settle. For better and for worse. And yes, it's tough on the extroverted ones who don't want to work alone in the back of the class.
