Hi Dottie,

Although I will have to say that in my opinion math achievement is accurate it does not reflect his ability to learn math as I have yet to show him any concept that he didn't understand without any need for repetition. So this is simply a matter of exposure, no? I have been reluctant to do math with him at home as he is already ahead. The reading etc. I can't stop (nor would I)
I appreciate any input you might have. My son is struggling socially in school, not relating well and I also feel he is not learning the value of effort.
Thank you!
