Fortunately, he is just super psyched to learn--not a kid who wants to sit back. He's kind of a teacher's dream, other than some perfectionist, emotional tendencies and occasional overfocus on fairness and rules (sound familiar, anyone??) The one thing he is not quite so eager about is writing, yes--but on the other hand, he is writing a long story at home of his own volition, which I am pleased about! He has a great role model in his sister, who tends to sit around and write little plays, letters, and songs for fun.
