So, I picked up an angry child today from school. Apparently, he is now getting the challenge work twice a week, instead of once, but it's during his former free time. Apparently, 5/20 kids do the extra work, but DS objects to it big time. He said he wouldn't mind during work time, but NOT DURING PLAYTIME! The other kids get to play checkers and clue and whatever while he and the others work on challenge math and writing assignments. So, they gave me what I asked for, but not in a way that will work. He still has to sit there through stuff he knows and gets to miss fun time as a bonus. I tried to tell him he still has 3 days to play, but if he doesn't finish his work, he has to continue it the next day, and he's not fast.
