JDAx3,
I somehow missed your post back in December and I wanted to ask how things are going? Did you come up with a solution that's working for your DS? My DS6 is similarly unchallenged in class and when I go in to help each week I see him not sitting still during group times and also entertaining himself with completely non-school related distractions since he already knows virtually everything being taught in class (I talked about this in another thread.) My DS's teacher knows he already knows everything but isn't doing anything about it, really, and my DS just has no interest in doing extra work when he sees his friends aren't. Did the project idea work to keep him focused during the other boring parts of his day? Was he able to work on the project at school? Did you come up with any other solutions? I, too, don't think it's okay that my son is not following the rules always, but it doesn't seem to have put up any red flags for his teacher, and honestly, what can you expect a six year old to do for 7 hours a day? Anyway, I'd love to know if you've found anything that works.
