thanks everybody for your thoughts! Always helpful to get other opinions - the one thing that was mentioned here that we don't know is what the other kids work looks like - because of work I havent been in the classroom yet, DH was, but much earlier in the year. And in terms of doing the work, he is doing it - its just bigger and more spaced out than they want - so its not preventing him from doing what they want him to do. I don't object to practice, I just think they are not going to get him to improve with worksheets - you can see his attention and effort start to drift - when its an interesting assignment he works on his writing without much resistance.
