Jude doesn’t know it, but Andy was all set to disenroll Jude from his online government kindergarten after just 14 school days. Mostly Andy’s reasoning was that the math and phonics curriculum is way too easy for Jude and the curriculum requires too much parental involvement (since it really is mostly paper based at this level rather than online). Jude prefers technology-based learning (on a computer or iPad) since it keeps his interest for longer (and Andy prefers it too since he has 2 other boys to keep alive during the days).  Given that Andy was ready to quit, I spent the last 2 nights doing all of Jude’s lessons with him. I found most of them to be worthwhile (e.g., we did an optional lesson where Jude had to run around and then we checked his pulse and he thought that was pretty cool). We had another call with Jude’s “teacher” today and she had Jude do some reading and math for her. Her impression was that he was at least at a 2nd grade level for those subjects so she’s going to see what she can do to get us some new curriculum. Disaster averted…for now.
