DS has been very frustrated with the amount of work at school in his 3rd Grade class. He is the first one done with his work and has time to read. The kids must keep working and when they are done they need to read. Well, he says he wants to give his brain a rest and he can't. He says reading doesn't even feel like a break. Reading at home is still relaxing. He is not allowed to put his head down at school. I've read with the gifted kids 2 hours worth of work in 1 hour, feels draining like they did 2hrs of work. I'm not sure he can slow down any more. I think most of the kids are bringing work home and are overwhelmed. He does not have to study. I am still working on having the school understnd his needs.
Any suggestions for how to give his brain a rest?
