for all the suggestions.

He is a super smart student, but the work produced does not reflect this. I think there may be times when he might be bored like PP said, but since we are a testing year, I expect questions to be answered a certain way, and he rarely does this! Very frustrating!! We just completed a unit reading various books on the same theme. I asked each group to have read 4 books by the end of the week, and compare..he had read all 8 - but the quality of the work was average. he sees it as quantity vs quality, where it should be the other way around.

As for the suggestion that he has Asperger's or OCD, I don't think so. I have another student with OCD/ODD and you can really tell!!

I will try some of these suggestions when we get back.
