When you get 5/10 on an assignment because you blew through the homework and didn't really READ the instructions is a mistake she has remembered!
If some creative teacher can find a way to teach our son to slow down just a tiny bit -- and pay attention to details, instructions, etc -- he'll be unstoppable. "Going too quickly" really is his only problem in school right now, and is the only thing negatively affecting his grades.
He's seen the pinch on a few quizzes and reading tests... and says that he agrees he needs to slow down... but ZIP! ZAM! ZOOM! he continues to go at his own breakneck speed.
On the rare occasion I can get him to slow down ever-so-slightly, his quality and accuracy go through the roof. I just haven't figured out a way to get him to hit the brakes.
