I'm jumping on board a bit late, but Wolf is in an Independent Study program and his teacher sat me down one day and really opened my eyes as to how much learning he was actually doing. I was worried that we weren't "doing" enough "school." She made me count up all the time he spends every day doing educational activities, TV, video games, books, playing out doors, martial arts classes, "actual" schoolwork, talking to me about science etc... We over doubled the hours he needed in a day and so little of it seemed like actual "school" to me but it all counted.
Can you let him dictate some, not just writing, but math and other stuff as well. Can he do projects that don't involve writing, but still show mastery if that's what the powers that be need for proof?
