Yep, no one told me I didn't have to do second grade math, so I ran to my desk after 3rd grade reading, whipped out my notebook and started copying problems madly. But the teacher would usually be erasing them while I was writing them down. I was so anxious. I think it wasn't until late October that people realized that no one had told me that I was excused from math.

Of course, it never occured to me to ask. Giving kids permission to ask questions about their schedule is huge!
