I hear you both. This, however, was said to a 6-year-old who was working himself into an upset state that was about to manifest itself in him melting down and possibly refusing to board the school bus.

DS knows that we've needed to "keep learning" at home (afterschooling, anyone?), because he has felt that school is "sssoooooo easy." We are trying to foster his "growth mindset" at home. So his feelings are being acknowledged, but I am trying to avoid the outright refusal to go to school while I try to get the school to understand his needs (which I HAVE been trying to do, albeit unsuccessfully, so far).
