[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd be wondering why my son can't keep up if I were you. If he's not keeping up now it's only going to get worse. I think you're asking the wrong question.  Deciding to boycott instead of investigate the underlying issue doesn't make sense to me. [/quote]

We have investigated the issue. We have met with the teacher MULTIPLE times to talk about why he's having trouble keeping up. We've tried strategies to help him stay focused and those worked well for a while. But, lately it's ticked up again and with all this stupid prep for the SOLs on top of all these worksheets, he's drowning in it again. I'm telling you that the amount of work is not reasonable and wondering how other parents would approach the problem. But of course, you must assume that there's something wrong with my kid or my parenting.  [/quote]

I never assumed something is wrong with your parenting and I'm not sure why you would go there. My point is that it gets worse - I have kids from 3rd through 12th, including a SN child, so I've see it first hand. my point is that you've got to get to the root of the problem not try to get out of responsibilities.
