Hi ZS
We already do a lot of outside science enrichment. He reads a ton of material, we watch videos, go to lectures. This was all about the fact that he will not see anything new in science class for YEARS! I asked for and was given the curriculum so that I could expand on what goes on in class - the problem is that it is so slow - that if I give him interesting stuff on insects, they will be talking about a very small percentage of the knowledge he gains in two days over weeks. So my understanding was that the differentiation was going to be in school - not outside of school - since we are taking care of that.
The teacher seems to subscribe to the perspective that the class is moving so fast already (NOT) and that if he goes in depth now, what would DS do next year or the year after.
I would love it if he could do something different but that is not happening!
