My 8yo took a few CTD Saturday classes as a 5-6yo ... he didn't love them, but he did enjoy them. It was something to remind him that he really *did* enjoy math, because school was doing a great job of quashing his natural curiosity and ability!
Like I say, I'm not happy he's at the private school -- it's a gazillion times better than the public school he was at, but we've since moved, and I feel like I could have done a better job advocating. We've since moved from that district, and I wonder what we could do with the public schools where we are now ... the school he's at now, while much much better, is still not really designed for kids like my ds, so I'm feeling pretty gypped! Even with the max amount of financial aid they offer and splitting it between two families (my ex-h and I share the cost), it's still hard. :-(
Good luck! I hope you're able to work something out.
