Portia,
It's not you, it is the system I am afraid.
Not just in one area, but the entire country's public school education model is failing... our kids pay the price.
I PULLED DS from public, well- he's still DOING public, just independently at home. I was told he could accelerate at his own pace, but that isn't true at all. Which is why we are playing their game- at least on paper.
*may I ask, how did your DS complete the 3rd grade math in one day? Did they give him the year end test? I WISH they'd do that for my DS6!!! I was told I should be happy they are allowing him to do 2nd grade, when technically he should be in 1st grade. I think that was my subtle warning to keep my mouth shut!!!
Good luck to you!
