I asked my son about the multiplication facts. He said they're boring. I asked if he thought maybe he should just do them and get them over with and he said no, they are a waste of time. So I ask him what he would do if he didn't have to take timed fact tests anymore and he said "poop". Yes, so very insightful.

Verona, thanks for sympathizing wink It's nice to know there are others out there with similar situations. My son likes graphic novels. We're headed to the library today because I saw a whole slew of yu gi o graphic novels that I know he'd go nuts over. Hey, at least he's reading something right??
