[quote=Anonymous]We have a similar elementary school child, except that ours has some serious areas of weakness due to his dysgraphia. He is also a second grader.

We are focusing on the skills we see as important for him: typing, writing, spelling, and math facts. He is reading regularly but he likes reading so that is not much of an 'assignment'.

We are ignoring most of the mindless assignments they are sending -- -lots of them can be managed with a one sentence answer (as mentioned earlier). Engaging in mindless tasks related to learning the parts of a plant, or responding to a question about an audiobook is not useful for my child.

We are updating teachers regularly with what we are doing instead so that it doesn't seem like we are just opting out.

We will not un-enroll in order to keep the door open and IEP in place. I don't think that there will be negative repercussions to doing our own thing at this time.  Also, it's better to have differentiated instruction for my kid (and most, but especially SN kids).[/quote]
