I hear you, but DS7 just can't do that sort of timed test yet. He will have to eventually. But for now it just stresses him out. He actually works faster *without* the time pressure, since he doesn't get panicky and lose focus. It's weird, but it's how he is.
I just remind myself that your average 7yo would not be good at timed math tests either. We'll ease into it, and when he's 9, we'll be giving timed tests. But it's a weakness we must cultivate.
Kriston, I keep forgetting that it was something we had to cultivate; at 7 I don't think GS would do it either. Thanks for your post.
