Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Learning Environments Teacher doesn't even look at work

This sounds nutty! Have the teachers have all but given up? Can you explain to your son that he has to do work at school and since the teachers aren't checking, you will be checking? I'd go a step further and send in work that's appropriate for his level with the understanding that if he doesn't do it at school, he'll work on it when he gets home. A meeting with the principal probably needs to happen soon. Good luck and it sounds like you've got your work cut out for you.

P.S. You don't sound pathetic. I'm just flabbergasted and probably coming across harsher than I meant to.
