[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ask your child what work the Teacher has for kids who finish early. DS Teachers have always had additional work that the kids can do. There is normally a list of things. Some days DS would tell us about the extra books he read. Some days DS would bring home a story he wrote and illustrated. Some days it was word searches. [/quote]

Yes, the reward for getting your work done early is always more work.  The smart kids figure this out quickly.  [/quote]

This.  Rather than extra work (aka busy work that isn't graded but is simply to keep the child busy while others finish the real assignment), the child should be given material that is appropriate for his ability and provides the same amount of challenge as other kids have with the work they are given.

First listen, and make sure it isn't one of the other issues such as getting used to the structure, etc.  But if it really is that the teacher is not appropriately differentiating instruction and materials, then you can address that.  [/quote]
