Math class is FAR more concerning to me. The only differentiation anyone can seem to do is additional problems... or subbing in 2-digit problems for single digit, things like that. It's not been a major problem, but I do feel like he's lost some of his love of math as a result. I really hope we can get him into the G&T program this year, then we can actually leave the class for appropriate math instruction.
Yes, yes, and yes! Only now am I starting to see that he has lost some of his love for math, but I stopped asking for anything more challenging when I realized it would simply be worksheets with operations of multi-digit numbers instead of 1 and 2 digit numbers.
My child has long demonstrated mastery of basic math operations, regardless of the size of the numbers involved, and tested 7th grade to post high school level in math depending on the grade in which the test was administered. And he should be happy to replace 12X4 with 1,289X372 while getting nothing more? Really?
