His teacher says that he always knows where they are in class, but since he's not always fully there, it takes him longer to respond to the question than it should.  He does respond without any help, but if he paid attention he would answer more quickly.  He's the best reader in his class, in both Maltese and English and always gets good marks.  He does sometimes have careless mistakes.  At home he does his homework quickly and very well, but it has to be done asap or he loses interest.
