Trusting teachers to figure out that DS needed more challenge did not work. Trying *not* to be a pain in the rear did not work. Both of these passive approaches backfired in that there was delay in DS getting any attention since he is not a "problem" child.
We are having similar experiences (except our son is now becoming a "problem" child). All we're asking for is that our child gets appropriate work, and after waiting half of the school year, we're still not there yet. Our adjustments in school have been to give our son additional worksheets that don't map to any sort of curriculum. Unfortunately our team building that we did to prep DS for early entry into first may have backfired in that his academic needs are still not met. So we have a kid who was so excited to enter school ("I'm ready for first grade!") to a kid who knows he isn't learning nearly as much as his neighbor. Additionally, we may have a "Spirited Child" or a child with a low end sensory integration issues.
We're not sure of the LOG that we're dealing with. IQ tests say one thing, achievement tests say another...
Bit frustrated right now...
