[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS1 was reading at a 3rd grade level by K. In 2nd grade his teacher was giving him 5th grade spelling words. We never pushed it. It was like a code he was trying to crack...and he was so proud of himself for it. As a 7th grader, he's a pretty average student. He's very bright, but he's found that he's smart enough to not have to study in order to do well on tests, so he wont study. He hates homework, so his grades suffer there as well. Beware of burning your kids out at such a young age. It could back fire on you, even if it's just the teachers pushing and not the parents.[/quote] The last thing you wrote is what I'm afraid of. How do you wish it were handled differently?[/quote]
