    Because I wouldn't let him do more!!!!

    This is the same boy who took an entire 12 months to finish 2nd grade math because he hated every single second of it.

    So, um.... thank you Teaching Textbooks!

    Teaching Textbooks was a lifesaver here as well. It was the first math program we were able to do with my daughter without tears and yelling [on both our parts!] LOL

    Sad thing is, if we didn't have so much other stuff to do before I have to get ready for work, I'd have let him. lol.

    well my girls were the same way once we got teachine textbooks

    what I did is told them math was last and then if we had time and nothing else to do they go on for as long as they wanted.

    some days they did.

    I even let them do it on week ends or as homework

    We only have the one laptop and Elijah and Quinten both needed it for various things today. So I had to limit Quin's math time. :roll:

    This is my dd's first year with TT (level 3) and she LOVES it. :love: She can't wait to do math each day. The other day when she woke up she asked if she could do math...and she wasn't even out of bed yet!

    Teaching Textbooks has saved yet another mother/child relationship. I love them. :)
