[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 519349, member: 6705"] Long before FAPE, and the whole IEP thing... In 1978... I started 1st grade when my BFF, 3 weeks younger than I, was starting Kindergarten. My parents pushed for this because they knew I would be BORED. Even so, even being the youngest kid in my class, I went to the 3rd grade room for reading and 2nd grade for Math. Now, of course, I was in a private school then... They wanted to push me up another year and my parents said no, I was already socially immature for my grade level. I got very, very bored. I was the quiet kind, though - I would read. And read. And read. Right through my other subjects. Today I would be classified ADHD inattentive type. Truly, though, I wasn't. Teachers now (private too) have to do so much more with so much less, in my opinion. I don't remember buying grading pens, or paper, or anything like, for the teachers, ever, even in public school. And due to a LOT of helicopter parenting, there are a LOT of kids who have entitlement issues - not like our difficult children, exactly, though there are some such as Shari's cGFG who have been cultured into the behavior. Onyxx, too, to a degree, as well as Jett. Teachers have to deal with a lot of things they didn't have to before. (I never got paddled in school - the threat was enough to keep me in line. Especially after the first ruler I saw applied to a boy's knuckles in 3rd grade... Sister Agnes Marie scared me to death.) Jett's 3rd grade teacher told us he needed to be medicated. I told him (startled husband when I did) that when he became a doctor, he could diagnosis Jett and rx medications, but for now, he was a teacher and needed to stick to his own area. in my opinion... You probably do have a bored kid here... But... SpEd is awesome for so much other stuff. Jett is REALLY REALLY SMART - he has a "low" IQ because he's not interested in answering the questions and shrugs a lot. He's not dumb at all. He just learns differently. And SpEd has helped a LOT...
