Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Age or Ability Specific Forums Elementary School Summer Academics - how much to push???

I kicked DS out of school for the summer. He works on his greek each day as we both agreed that learning a new language requires diligence but that's it.

I know it's asking a lot but I want him to at least "try out" being a regular little boy so I sent him to a day camp that is completely recreational. In response he informed me that "you can't make a turtle into a frog" and rolled his eyes. In spite of the drama, he seems to be having a good time.
