DS is accelerated two years in a few subjects and balking at the amount of homework in his writing/reading class. I'm not sure if this is a start of school thing (he didn't fuss about what he had to do last year with the same cohort of classmates) or if the workload is too much for his age (9). He can understand it, but seems to be struggling to manage the assignments (i.e., when what is due, thinking it will take forever -- but then, when finally settling down to it, enjoying it).

I'm realizing that we probably need to step in and make sure we understand his workload and how the teacher shares info. Any other suggestions?
