Hi CFK,
I don't know what to reccomend, but urge you to keep dis-ignoring! It's important for children to learn to show process, and that won't happen until they are learning material where there is a legitimate need to do this - if they are a big picture thinker and "just have" to do things for a reason. Apparently there are many many people for whom "because I said so" is plenty enough reason, but this type of attitude never stops amazing me.
Are you ready to homeschool him, at least until the end of the year? I think you can use this as an excuse to do what is in your heart, if in fact, that is what is in your heart.
