toblin, I totally agree with you. I saw a marked change between elementary school and jr. high where he was expected to spend most of the day in his seat (tuning in and out.) S is definitely a kinesthetic learner and learns best by doing. That explains why he hated piano lessons but hung on just long enough to learn how to read and write music. He then taught himself how to play 4 instruments. While I feel part of the problem is the system - there are still other males who thrive and succeed. It makes me frustrated to know that S, who started out as a great student and tests well doesn’t possess the skills to fit into this learning environment. I feel that instead of trying to fit this square peg into this round hole, I should have been looking for a square hole (another school w/a different approach.)
