This is a really hard one for us. My DS6 moves through material at alarming rates. I spend half of my time convinced he's pencil whipping things, but everytime I question him on material, he knows it.

I've added lot's of width to his day, greek mythology, foreign language, programming. My big issue is that I haven't found anything yet that seems challenging. In roughly eight weeks of homeschooling, he's completed 3 levels of aleks, a full year of grammar, a full year of anatomy. Going wide doesn't seem to be helping to slow him down. If anything it seems to speed him up as there is more to fit in his day. I stagger his lessons, history one day, science the next, then find him using his free time on the computer to do the subject we didn't cover that day.

I feel like I'm chasing a run away train..........
