[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 150850, member: 3907"] It's too bad that your SD has lost its focus on educating ALL of its students. I don't know how understanding Boo's teachers are, but here are some of the things that my Grannie and my teachers did for me, to keep me occupied and out of trouble. In no particular order... 1) Lots of puzzle books. Boo can do puzzles to fill in the time when others are still working on their assignments. 2) Model kits. If he has steady hands, you can get him fairly complex ones that require gluing and painting. 3) Lego. Bucketsful of lego. Not just the kits, but also just the bins of extra pieces 4) Books, books and more books. The library might be able to make recommendations. 5) WARNING: This one is a bit ICKY, if you're squeamish. My science teacher (whose husband was a butcher), used to bring me cow organs to dissect. She brought me a heart, a liver, kidneys, brains, intestines, a placenta. The works. She bought me a little lab coat, rubber gloves and a dissecting kit with scapel, forceps and all. After dissecting each organ, I would have to do a research project on its anatomical function, the differences between animal and human whatever, etc. Strangely, this was one of my favourites. 6) Running. When I got really antsy, my teacher would send me down to the gym. The gym teacher got me into long distance running. Burned off lots of energy, great exercise, and I didn't pester my classmates. 7) Book reports and movie reviews. Boo gets to choose the book or movie. The teacher defines the structure of the report (introduction / characters: protagonist, antagonist, etc. / plot / story line / conclusions)...or something like that, and then Boo has to write it up. If I think of anything else I will add to the list. Hope the SD sees their way clear to meeting your son's needs. If I understand correctly, it's their legal obligation to do so. Grr. [/QUOTE]
