Pinkpanther,

My DS9 rushes too, although he has sometimes made very careless mistakes in math. He tells me he does that so that he doesn't have homework and also because it's busy work that's dull and he wants to get it done. His teacher doesn't care if he rushes (he'll read when he's finished early) and I've asked him to take a little extra time to check his math (accuracy has improved). I don't like the idea of busy work and wasted time, but DS has emphatically said he wants to stay in this grade (5th) to the end of the year and not skip again until maybe freshman yr of HS (6th grade does mythology & middle ages--his favorite). Isn't it crazy to stay in a grade just for one class?

I agree with Kriston, what is so troublesome about going fast?
