[QUOTE="mazdamama, post: 500101, member: 12227"] LOL Got the pin at a CARD convention I attended.....most likely it can be found online. As for the home being the best for learning...that is what I am finding...David does his work for me and does know how to do it but at school.....forget it...too many kids in the class....not enough one on one....David is not a social person and hates being in a place (like the cafeteria) with too many people there. I told the asst principal...who I can't stand because she does not have a clue about ESE kids....that home-schooling him was not possible. Now she did agree on that because he needs the socialization. Today he has completed four of his assignments without an issue...2 in the AM and 2 before dinner. To stay on task he needs someone at his side or his mind wanders, He has a very short attention span with everything BUT the world. He can sit all day and draw maps, read atlases, tell people....total strangers about Pangea and what countries used to have other names. He taiught himself how to tell time at the age of 4 and when our pastor has run over the normal time church is over he has let him know. He has a magnadoodle that he carts around and wrote on it while I was listening to the sermon. He stood on the pew holding it up.....it read BIG CHURCH IS OVER!! He got mad at me a few years ago...think it was 1st grade....when I would not write his name on his homework paper. He said "That's it! I will write it backwards!!" And he did.....his entire name which is long with our surname and his middle name....wrote it as fast backwards as he could write it forwards. Went around recitiing the alphabet backwards without a pause. He does apparently have a photgraphic memory and the one great grade he gets at school is in spelling because he only has to look at the list once and he knows them. I want his education to be enriched and they keep telling me to take his maps, globes and atlases away so that he will focus on something else. I won't take them away permanently....right now he has lost them for the suspension but he will grab a piece of paper and still draw the world. [/QUOTE]
