He has a weekly assignment book that translates into 1.5 hours of homework a day - including weekends. He has a 10 word spelling test every Friday. His strong point is currently math where he is doing basic addition and subtraction with little effort.
I find this amazing given that we were learning the ABC's in first grade back in 66.

Has your son been tested for Aspergers (sp?) syndrome or one of those other syndromes? Just curious? One of the symptons is bad speech/language skills but high scores for reading/writing and math.
