Interesting conversation. My son just returned from CTY and told me that some of his friends were doing high schl science classes in such a way that after 3 weeks the half kids were able to score a 3 or above on the AP exam. Im not sure if Imm remem the conversation aurately or if DS had all the details. I dont know what kind of preperation the kids had but I do know that some rapid learning took place.

I think the bigger question is how to handdle a childd who is shut down in an area of learning for any reason in any setting. There is no one answer here. But it is a question that parents here face. If a child is functioning well then child led is so wonderful. If a child isnt functioning in an area the we parents try lots of ways - including letting it alone for a bit -to give that supported push.
