Some friends tell me to leave it alone because this way my DS can feel confident and gain self-esteem knowing that he's one of the smartest in the class and it's a good thing he's not struggling in school.
For starters, this is toxic.
What a kid gets out of that is that he never has to do a thing, never learns how to study, and when he finally comes up against something he doesn't know immediately, he decides he must be stupid and gives up.
What tests do they use, and do you have any test results for your DS that would tell you where he needs to be?
