Yep, what he said makes a lot of sense. I've got a second grade grand son that is bored to
death. Reads at 8th grade levels and does math at 4th grade levels (all thanks to his Mom
and Dad). School said they are going to bump him a grade (2nd to 3rd) and we'll see if that
helps.

Oh, and he collects coins, too!

That really is an interesting, thought provoking lecture. I've watched it 3x now and I notice something new everytime.

Really? only 2 responses to this? Doesn't anyone give a carp about how our kids are educated?

oh well, I tried. I hope more actually viewed and listened than responded to this thread.

I agree too many kids are diagnosed as ADHD, when all they really need is more exercise.
