Wait... who are these mythical kids that are happy to go back to school?
Let me reply here - my DD6 (2d grade)is happy to go to school every day. In fact, she begged during the break to go to school... I cannot quite figure this out - is is bad or good for me as a parent
But I would like to add that last year she was quite miserable and this was not attributed only to boredom (the work she did was still below her level),as I figured out, but to overall environment. She did not “click” with the teacher and the class overall. So she would be upset in the mornings and evenings when it was time to do homework (repetitive and boring). This year she blossomed as far as overall happiness and, while she does the same type of work, she is happy as she can be every day. I just like to point this out. I had to tell her every day last year (well, for 4 month since it happened after her skip) to wait it out…
