Glad you're back to Singapore and cruising along!

This sounds eeriely like my DS. Everything that comes easily to him is SO BORING. But if you push him past a certain point (which seems like a very fine line), he becomes frustrated extremely fast. And I definitely think his classroom teacher totally lets him get away with things I wouldn't stand for in terms of trying his best and laziness.

That really is part of the beauty of homeschool! You can take a break for a week or 2 and roll right back into it.
