If I fight for him and try to explain he's bored with common core math and reading about the Rats of NiMH I become the annoying parent who thinks her child can do no wrong
While you *might* look like that to the teacher, my take on this is housing on your ds, his needs, and what *he* sees. When you stand up and advocate for your child you are teaching your child a valuable lesson (stand up for yourself, think for yourself, and don't just follow along because that's what is expected).. and more importantly, you are showing your child that he matters to you, that you will stand up for him, and that's a really powerful message
