As for summer school, we do have the tutor one day a week - but the kids consider that fun rather than educational, and I think she runs it that way. Just that she runs it as fun for really smart kids, so there is some intellectual stimulation there.
Can you ask the Tutor to come up with some 'fun' homework, some organic way that the work they do independently during the week can be used during the tutoring Day to have even MORE fun?
Perhaps the Tutor needs to be nudged to 'up the ante' a bit?
I like the 6th grade Alexs goal. For reading, that is much harder. Does she like non-fiction?
Love and More Love,
