[quote=Anonymous]When it's time for book reports, have your kid do them on harder, longer books. Teach your kids the concept of jumping through hoops, and tell them they need to do that in order to get to the harder, more fun and challenging stuff. My son was this type of kid - the teacher would begin to teach a concept, and he'd come home and teach it to himself inside and out. Then he'd go back to school and be bored for six weeks. In one grade, he turned in a completed math workbook in mid-November and asked, "Now what do I do?" The teacher jokingly said, "Just sit at your desk and look pretty." So he started writing rap songs to the beat of already-existing rap songs and the teacher screamed at him and sent him to the office. Luckily he brought his math workbook with him. The principal listened, then asked to hear the raps, then said he'd fix the problem. Two days later when it was time for math, DS was sent to a grade two above his. [/quote]
