I love that idea! Even if he never goes in again - what a great keepsake! When he comes to you to worry that his future 4 year old isn't doing whatever, you can pull out the box and show him what he was doing /not doing at that age!

If the school isn't complaining, then I would just let the matter drop. If the tasks are really 'poor fit' I might ask if they can be improved a bit.

Somehow this is reminding me of a poster I saw the bathroom of an administrators office. A toddler leaning over on his junior potty. The caption read: The job isn't complete until the paper work is done!

Perhaps by teaching your son to file his projects when they no longer interest him, you ARE teaching him to 'finish' the job by filing them.

haha love that slogan and love the spin you put on things laugh

I will also chat to the school at our parent/teacher meeting later this month and see what they are doing. They usually make something - so it could be drawing, painting, cutting out, colouring in, glueing, doing a basic maze or dot to dot etc. They don't do actual maths sums or other writing or spelling - the things he is loving at home. But he is not saying he doesn't enjoy the school tasks, just that he has more fun learning at home...

Then he gets to write his name on it! (yayness).
