Kriston, I can't agree more. DS8 used to go to the teacher to ask for more challenging material. It's still beyond me why these teachers would reject such a request. He stopped asking after a while. But what I'm happy about is that with the understanding teacher this year he started asking again, and the teacher is giving him some challenging work.
On the other hand, one of his earlier teachers used to let kids do coloring at the end of a math session, because she wanted the kids to know that "math is fun". I just can't understand how anyone would think math is fun just because they did some coloring at the end of math.
