I'm having a little trouble understanding how your son is bored given that schools and computers allow many students to advance at their own pace. I would think you could get your bored son to study any number of OnLine programs from computers, history, english or math and have him ready for earning the big bucks.

I read stories every day or see them on TV where kids, repeat KIDS, are earning money providing help to adults in how to use tech gadgets or some other program. In additon, thousands of kids are raising money for toys or books in the Arab world or Africa, is your son missing out on this?

My problem at this moment is that the school district is not allowing her to advance at her pace, they've killed the program the principal instituted to do just that. and I have the idea the school is being closely monitored by the district peole to make sure the teachers and principal are not doing it "behind their backs" so to speak.

I'm running into some road blocks getting concrete answers to my very straightforward questions..which to me is far more telling than any answer I could get.
