On the other side of things was the boredom when they repeated things again and again and again.
Thsi is EXACTLY my son's complaint. He can not stand the repitition. My son also reports that, unlike last year's class, most of the kids in his class are much lower than he in math and reading. I fear his has no real 'peers' kids who can read and like math as much as he. Last year in his class there were a number of kids who were very high (higher than he)in math and reading. He thrived with them in the class - they talked books, they talked math, etc. In this calss, there is dearth ... He reports many of the children are below average.
