No fires to put out is a good thing.
I agree with this, but at the same time my problem is that his needs are so easy to be overlooked, because he is such a people pleaser. He wants everyone to be happy with him. He knows when to hide what he can do, so that he would blend in with the group. For example reading, two months ago his Lexile score was 370, which is average for his class. Then he saw that his teacher has harder books in the classroom and that she is ok with kids reading those books and suddenly he started to read books that have Lexile of 700 – 800. Could he read books with higher Lexile, probably, but those are the highest Lexile books she has in her classroom.
When I asked him about math, he said that those review sheets keep him out of trouble - it is easier to do them than to sit quietly and do nothing. I felt like crying when he said that.
