His first year wasn't bad. It was a short year due to his birthday and he wasn't reading when he started. But now he is two years ahead in reading and not stretched in maths. He seems to like the social aspects (though he is not great socially is not that bad), he is good at sports and likes the PE stuff and the occasional science.

his lunch hour finishes at 1.30 and I finish work at one. I am seriously considering just picking him up after lunch fairly frequently to just relax, watch some educational DVDs etc.

It just kind on annoys me that all the teacher will say is work on his writing which is pretty age appropriate for a boy who can't think what to write about. Why not pay some attention to what he is good at and maybe make him more enthused and challenged. He will just do the minimum otherwise.

Rant over. Thanks for listening.
