Our local public doesn't offer clubs until high school. If a child is unhappy due to no academic challence and not learning how to learn then I think it is worth taking a chance. I wouldn't let lack of clubs stand in my way but maybe that's because there are so many afterschool clubs around here.
He is in second grade now. His friends are now either in different classes or transferred out. He has not complained so far, but I can see his spirit is a little low now, maybe I am being too sensitive for him. he rated the regular math and reading class at 2 out of 10, while enrichment classes 7 out of 10. I am letting him work on EPGY 4th grade math and language at home, but that seems to have to many repetition to really interest him.
