[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 220338, member: 1233"] We had times like this with Wiz. I can remember him missing 4 days of first grade because he decided to learn multiplication and division from a workbook my parents sent. He would work on it in his room until 3 or 4 am and then just be exhausted. I KNEW he wasn't learning anything in school (he was on a 5th grade level and they were insisting he do 1st grade work - it was horrible) so I let him stay home. The teacher fought me until I went to the Superintendent of schools with the work Wiz had done. Luckily, it was my Uncle Frank! He looked at Wiz, at the work, and said Of Course he would need to miss school if he was working on that until 4 am. What was the problem?? The teacher REALLY had it out for me after that (we just had a mutual hate prior to that) but she didn't do much because she knew I wouldn't tolerate it. anyway, that focus can be Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Aspergers, or at least it was a combo of that for Wiz. My mom said I did similar things. [/QUOTE]
