In someways having a bookworm is a wonderful thing. I totally love the fact that all 6 kids love reading and all read above grade level. However, what I do not like is when a child disregards instructions from his teacher regarding classwork, homework, and important projects just because they "are to boring."
Granted there is a large variety of books available to read that are far more interesting to read than text books. But when these books begin effecting grades, then a line must be drawn.
Yes, this is where we are as of today with Jairon. As of today his teachers and I have all agreed that he is not allowed to bring any books to school unless they are assigned to read in the classroom. Sadly, even the reading/literature teacher agreed he needs to have restricted reading time in school. This is a decision she hates having to make. Yet, if he is going to have a chance to focus and bring his grades up, this is the right decision.
