My ds would quite certainly pick something worse than I could choose. However, I'm not sure how long it would last before he figured that out and lightened his load!

In addition to his regular schoolwork, DS is now doing a keyboarding program and working on Scratch. My brother who is a computer geek extraordinaire is giving him simple tasks each day. "Make the cat blue and have it jump up and down, Make the cat change color with each jump.... You get the idea. Everyday he's adding to or starting a new project. He is in heaven. He has been spending not only his allotted "programming" time on scratch but his free hour as well. Shari Mom to DS 10, DS 11, DS 13 Ability doesn't make us, Choices do!
