One time when my ds was in Kindergarten he wouldn't do an assignment b/c it was to easy. He told the teacher he was doing this type of work when he was 2 years old. They didn't let him go to lunch with his classmates and had to go to the vice-principal's office to do his work. He stood his ground. He missed lunch with his friends and recess with his friends. It wasn't until the last lunch period (by this time 3 had passed) that they allowed him to go eat then go back to the vp's office to finish his work. Well, after he ate it took him all of 5 min to do. The vp was impressed that he did it all correctly in 5 min but was disappointed in him b/c if he would have just done it at first he would have been allowed to eat and have recess with his friends. DS needed to learn to do the work that the teacher gave him but holding him from eating I didn't agree. I am proud that ds was trying to show them in his own way that the work was easy but was sad b/c they didn't see it that way nor do anything about it.
