Robots at School

Marshall went into his fantasy world today during Math because he didn't want to do it. Today's fantasy world consisted of being a robot and shutting down after each task. Instead of battling him over it, I rolled with it because he's my only student. He's not in a class with 29 other kids and a teacher who can't take time out for him to come to grips. So I was his programmer and every time he shut down I had to tickle his "on" switch on his back to reboot him. I gave him his instructions in my mechanical robot voice, too. And you know what? It worked! And this is why we homeschool.
