Eibbed- I am wondering if the scho/ teacher says "they can learn more ways to explain"; if it's a way to keep kids from being accelerated. I mean I know my ds does not care to know 8-10 different ways to add/ subtract. It irritates him.
I also noticed when I have showed him something new in math: he has understood after a few problems. When I have asked him to replicate what I showed him on another day- he could and would, but no more than 5-6 problems. I'm guessing this will be a problem at school.
Keep us posted how things are going. My dh is starting to entertain homeschool atleast for a year or 2. We'll see. Don't want my ds to hate school. I want him to continue to love to learn.
