well, at least ONE positive! DS brought a finished math assignment from school where he was supposed to count the counters and write how many there are so he decided it's too boring and wrote 10 + 10 = 20 ... and got a smiley face from the teacher for it. Normally they get stars so at least she appreciated the effort on his part! lol DS also said that the other kids were telling him it's wrong and he shouldn't do it and the teacher said it's ok for him to do things "differently". ... one little step at a time ...
