I'm really not too surprised by DS' progress report that came out today.
It says he's excellent in math, phonics, and spelling. He also received a plus in "works independently". However he received a "needs improvement" in self-discipline and "being attentive during discussion and instruction".
Sound familiar to anyone?
Perhaps he would be more self-disciplined and attentive if the class were more interesting?
Yes, that sounds familiar. Good for him on the works independently plus. He might be more attentive if the class was more interesting, but then again, he's a first grader. I think self-discipline is tough at that age for many children. They are really just learning that control.
