Ds7 and I were going over his spelling words this morning, and for some reason he was struggling (never had a problem before, he has always got 100% on his spelling tests - he gets his own, advanced list - last week, he got 2 wrong - silly mistakes). I asked him why he was having a hard time, and he told me it was my fault ! He said it was because I hadn't given him any math to do lately - during the summer, I DID make him do some daily math, telling him that if he didn't, his brain would "turn to mush". Since school started mid-August, he hasn't done any math at home. I guess we need to start working on that mush brain at home again to get it back to normal smile
