Hi JB
I think things will get better, as long as you and your DW stay involved, and augment at home. Our DS6 started acting out more at home, not a lot just wineing(SP). The school he goes to offered parent classes, and my DW went, the school pyscologist (Ok the apple fell a long way from this tree) brought up that many 1st year studnets may act out at home this year. It was becaue of the new demands of an all day school, its a big change for them. In regards to being chalanged, its hard to say. Our DS6 is fine with the work, but he already knows the math. However there is some depth to the program at his school. It's not hard by any means, but it has a solid fundation. I am waiting until DS6 complaines, or until November when we meet with his teacher. It's hard to know what to do. DS6 does 3rd grade work at home (We do it for fun) and 2nd grade at work in school. I asked him if he thought school was hard enough and he said yes. How does your son feel about the school work? Can you add to it at home? We can just stay on top of things and adjust where we can.
