JDAx3,
Like others have responded, that is pretty much the same problem we are having (except for the in-depth thing � DS6 will work on his own for weeks on something that interests him; also he doesn�t always complete his work at school, although he is getting better). The teacher suggests only extra work, not more challenging substitutions, and that does not appeal to him (or me). We also saw a temporary improvement, because of daily reminders from us and, I assume, some effort on the part of his teacher as well. But a 6-year-old boy only has so much patience, especially a bright, bored one!

A lot depends on the teacher, and the school�s policies. We are considering switching to a private school next year. I admire you for your decision to become your son�s teacher� I am terrified that I might have to� smile I�d also love to hear an update�
