Wow. Thanks for sharing your son's information! I had no idea that was possible.
Completely agree with the concern re: rising to the challenge. We are coaching him through this at home and I think he's slowly coming around. He likes learning, but I think he has the mistaken impression that when it comes to math, not understanding at first glance means it is too hard/he's not capable. I am frustrated that this was just reported to us and that he wasn't coached on it at school.
I agree on the showing the work... but it is so central to the curriculum. How do we advocate against it? Or should we be offering to pay for virtual school while he is in the math hour at school?!
