Recently, I have been told by teachers that they do not push my child to do any of the challenge work (more than one subject area) because DC is already working ahead a couple years, and DC would prefer not to do it.

I am conflicted.

The regular class work is not challenging, but I also do not want to deny DC the benefit of socializing after the regular work is done. However, I am concerned that DC is less and less willing to take risks and make mistakes.

Would you ask the teachers to push a little more or leave it alone? Why or why not?
