Thanks everyone. Yes, we will be homeschooling all academic subjects next year. (Though my son may still pop into school to do specials and lunch.)

"Have you suggested to his teacher that she let him do his work with a pen, instead? (Thinking of people who do crossword puzzles in pen....)"

I try to stay away from any suggestions now. If I suggest that my son write in pen, there will be something else to complain about. (DS also doesn't manipulate his ruler "smoothly", can't work with his compass very easily and takes "a while" with his protractor.) These complaints are better than last year. Last year's teacher accused us of bribing DS to "learn math". Why else would a 6 year old be able to do what he was able to do last year?
