What do you do when the teacher says your child is brilliant, excels at ever subject but just won’t sit still in class? Well, you say that’s wonderful, obviously he needs to move to absorb. Can you move him to where he won’t be a distraction.
Then you bribe your child to be respectful of the teacher and other children.
That’s what I’m trying any way, in the mind of a seven year old, Yu-gi-oh cards are powerful motivation…
I know boring post but I got nothing…
The Edmond Fitzgerald sank on this day and Rolling Stone premiered it’s first issue…anyone know who was on the cover?
Here’s a cheat for some of you, BB61 has someone posted on his site that was relevant to who was on the cover.

Hmm… I think it was John Lennon but I’m not sure. Do I win anything??
RYC: No new puppy for us. We just like to hold them for a little while.
Hey Ang, I can fully relate to the deal with your son, Sound just like my youngest, Quinn. He’s in 5th grade and is doing much better, but I always get “Boy he can talk”. I always think, you really have no idea. Lol, Rach
The Beatles?
Going to conferences as a parent is interesting, lol.
Ahh bribery a perents best tool.
Hmm, I’m pretty sure I would ask the teacher to provide additional, stimulating, material to keep his attention. Sounds like he’s bored with the tasks he has already mastered. You might also ask for a Connor Scale test to be administered to check for ADD, as well as check his standardized tests for his CSI, or IQ. If it’s above 115, you should probably have him tested privately (by a psychiatrist trained in G&T) to see if he’s in the gifted range. If he is, you can probably get an IEP (federally mandated; the school has to comply) to get him the level of work that he needs.
Can I play? I guess if it was on topic, my fellow Canadian Gordon Lightfoot? But I don’t know.
