straight As in every subject; he is in first grade and has 160+ AR points (Accelerated reader), etc... He is very advanced in math.
I am going to homeschool because his teacher sits him in front of the television for about 45 minutes a day as he has completed his work early.--This has been a source of contention between the public school and myself for awhile. They only teach 3 core subjects that are covered on the state exams--math, reading, and spelling. English is placed on a rotating schedule with gym and is taught every other day. Art, music, history, and science are not taught at all!
Placing him in a private school is not really an option. I live in a rural area, and I would spend at least 2 hours a day with him in commute time.
Also, socialization is not really a problem, as he is involved in the martial arts, belongs to a community based basketball league, and participates in a myriad of other activities.
Curriculum with advanced math????
