[quote=Anonymous]Op, have patience.  Your child is most certainly not the only one.  It gets better, but it was a shock to the systems of most kids and parents (based on bus stop comments) last year.

With math, they start asking kids to "explain" some concept that a lot of kids who like math just "get"...trying to explain why something is "blue" is really hard!  My son settled into a routine of drawing diagrams to "explain your thinking."  It worked for his mindset and the teacher was fine with it.

Just wait until they start teaching bickles and gickles...then you'll really wonder what you got into!

If your child doesn't know what to do, first, remember he's not the only one.  Second, draw or diagram where possible.  Third, after he has tried for awhile and doesn't know what to do, then have him write on the paper "I don't understand this." So his teacher knows he's lost.  It is really important for the long run to admit what you don't understand and to not be afraid of asking for help.

Wait until Thanksgiving before panicking.  I bet you will see a very different scene.[/quote]
