I've been reading (loads) and came across something in Sylvia Rimms book that has me confused. She suggested to a parent that had a child that was acting out in class probably due to being underchallenged that you 1)make it clear their is no excuse for bad behavior 2)may need to learn that the world doesn't revolve around him 3)a little boredom is simply part of life. Then she suggested going to see a psychologist to see what the child's needs really were. Not the way I'm handling our situation which is similar to this. My ds is acheiving well but sullen because he wants more. The teacher feels if he doesn't want to be here he doesn't have to be. My question is, if I take him out of school to homeschool him , does he benefit in college and work where he has to adjust to the rest of the world. Do kids adjust with maturity?
