Thanks, I want to talk to Ethan a little more before I go to her. Knowing my son, he may well have blurted this out in front of the entire class in the middle of a lesson! He's not exactly known for his tact, lol. He knows I've been talking a lot with his teacher to get things to change for him, though.

I think I might also pick up some 3rd and 4th grade math books and see if he and I can figure out what type of work would actually be challenging for him!

ETA: This work they are doing in his math class is all prep work for next year's TAKS test. This is what I've heard is all he'll be doing through the rest of his public education, studying to state proficiency exams. I'd be willing to bet $50 he could pass that stupid test today.
