When in public school I just would not do them and they gave up trying to force me. My grades were blah.

I think that he should have access to a spec ed room though. Maybe they can explain a subject to him using dinosaurs and/or ice age stuff?
I'm not sure, it's really your decision as a parent. He'll probably be teased either way (from my own childhood experiences), so don't base that on you decision.


"We tend to copy what we see", WTF?

If its math, maybe you could try relating it to his interest ie: "if there were five dinosaurs, then the ice age wiped out two of them, how many dinosaurs would be left?" (or something a little less dramatic). Maybe try using dinosaur figurines to practice adding and subtracting with. and I'm not clear on 1st grade curriculum, but maybe try spelling dinosaur names to gain interest in the alphabet?
