[quote=Anonymous]My kids were completely unchallenged and a bit bored K-2, and the schools would not allow them to work ahead at levels that challenged them. Once they were in AAP, it still wasn't very challenging in the early years. You've just got to accept that and take it upon yourself to provide your own learning experiences. There are so many ways to enrich your child's knowledge and academics, without sitting around "teaching" and drilling. Science is scarcely taught in elementary school now, so think of all the fun science-oriented things you can do outside of school. I also like learning other languages with my kids. We play games that involve logical thinking and math, and when they ask questions, we have the whole Interwebz for answers. I also let them run free and have plenty of down time, because it's not easy for them sitting around all day at school.[/quote]
