Very intereseting Bronxmom. Can you ask him what was going through his head during the school trip? Was he not interested? Did he know the info already?
My DS8 attended, along with his 9yr old friend, an otherwise all adult lecture on Paleo-Indians in our area tonight. The adults commented that he was focused and engaged for the entire lecture which was over an hour. I'm so glad they were open to the kids being there! What an experience for DS! I certainly can't get him to stay focused for more than 15-20min for math or language arts lol.
