[quote=Anonymous]We had this problem with our kid in late elementary. He's now in a different school with a different setup, so I can't say we solved it exactly.

I do think that this is a common issue and that schools need to work on making sure the activities they can do after finishing their work are not more interesting than the work itself.

Teacher-approved activities afterwards is a good idea, as one PP said. The challenge is that even some of the games are often teacher-approved. For example, my kid would happily play online math games that were pretty easy for him but much more fun than working hard on whatever assignment was in front of him.

I think you may need to troubleshoot with individual teachers to get this right, and it will be hard because they will have different teachers for each subject. It might be more useful to focus on the quality of the work or having the "check work" part written in. Probably all the kids do this, so it might not make sense to try to totally get rid of the behavior.[/quote]
