[quote=Anonymous]“Education” at this age is basic letters and numbers, writing their names, learning the social rules of classrooms like sharing, standing in line, etc. There is educational material, but not in a  “repeating the curriculum” way.

They will repeat a lot of stuff, because kids have to practice. That’s what they work on at this age. Even if your daughter learned 100% of “the material” last year, she will still benefit from working on these things.

Yes, they will likely read many of the same books and sing the same songs and do similar craft projects, but frankly, your kid won’t care. How many times have you read the same book to her or repeated an activity?

FWIW, my daughter (who also has ADHD and is now 12) has complained about “repeating material” since about 2nd grade (mostly math). My message to her consistently has been that if she already knows something, she can show her proficiency with practice. She says, “I’m bored!” and my point is generally that a lot of stuff in life is both boring and important. She needs to learn to manage both of those things. [/quote]
