My 6 year old (soon to be 7) absolutely hates school 4/5 days of the week he cries or throws a tantrum when it's time to leave for school. Today he didn't, but he walked without fighting, shoulders slumped as if going to prison and accepting a horrible fate. This isn't how education should be administered, he should be excited to go and learn things, like he was in kindergarten.
We had a conversation with the teacher and the principle and they tell us he throws fits in class because he doesn't want to participate. They say his knowledge of Science, computers, engineering and Math is well above everyone else in his class, but he refuses to write so they can't test him or pass him during evaluations. He separates himself from other classmates and just sits in the corner not participating.
His mom and I have discussed homeschooling him but we don't think we are smart enough or patient enough to educate him and also we don't want him to inherent only our biases. My cousin did a curriculum where she went to school 3 days a week and home schooled 2 days a week by design, but i can't find any information about anything like that in our area.
I'm posting this asking for help from education community. Should he suck it up and just wait until second grade? Do we let the school system crush his spirit and zest for life? Should we just risk turning him into a drone of his parents and having subpar social skills? All ideas and criticisms accepted.
