I have wondered about finding a mentor too, for ds9, in the area of illustration or art, but so far not much luck.
I recall ds running into issues of going too slowly in 1st grade, the teacher repeatedly had him miss recess (bad idea in my opinion) somehow it never affected him positively (imagine that). At one point I told the teacher that while he was welcome to keep ds inside during recess I just did not think it would make a dent in his 'behavior'. Then he had such a wonderful teacher last year; ds had a minor surgery so missed about a week, I asked several times for any extra work, and the teacher just said, no, he's fine, doing fine, doesn't need to do the work. Just have him read. Ok, now that was not just sweet for ds, and me, but probably saved her a lot of trouble, too (smart teacher).
Sorry to hear about the 28 worksheets, unfortunately it sounds like one of those, 'Well, if he's so smart...' moments you hear about regarding some teachers. Sheesh. (also, is that ALL they do in the class???? Doesn't seem like there'd be any time for actually teaching/learning.)
