[quote=Anonymous]Does she offer activities for kids to do when they are done with their work? DS doesn’t get additional instruction when he is done but has a list of allowed activities that he choose from. He knows that when he completes his task he can choose something else to do quietly. Does your sons Teacher have something like that?

Ask the Teacher to send home rushed or incomplete work and have him finish at home. Hopefully the message sinks in that he cannot simply skip the work. He needs to know that you think it is important that he completes his work properly.

I would also tell your son that he is doing boring, easy work because he is choosing not to show his Teacher that he can do better then that. When he rushes through work, or tests, he might get to the games faster but he ends up doing work that is boring. He has to show everyone that he knows the material to move onto more challenging work.

It sounds like it is not a great student/ Teacher fit and that sucks. It also sounds like your kid is being stubborn and it is hurting him. Kids, and adults, can do stupid things. But he is not helping himself by rushing to play.
