[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hmm...well I want to be realistic for you.

One of my kids is like this and school is tough.  Early elementary years are tough.  School is geared toward rewarding quiet sitters and bending everyone else toward that “norm”.

My now end of 1st grader needs to let off a lot of steam before and after school physically.

I would say it does get better over time.  More ability to moderate behavior this year in 1st vs K.[/quote]

Same poster again.  I would also caution the line of thinking - they are so smart they are bored and acting out.  I get it.  I would say the same about my kid.  However, it’s not a hall pass for a kid who is acting out and don’t say it to the teacher.

[/quote]The smartest kids are never bored - they can always find something interesting to do or read.  My Godson is really bright if not a genius and he doesn’t know what bored feels like.

That’s actually been proven untrue.  [/quote]

I agree except you’re maybe not familiar with how a lot of classrooms look and operate.  A bored kid is not allowed to read or find something else to do.  In fact if they do that, it’s a problem.  The teacher can’t have a bunch of kids just doing whatever the F they feel like.  A bored kid has to sit there quietly listening to the teacher or doing the same activity as the other kids even if it’s something that’s pretty basic for that kid.  Or the kid has to wait for others to catch up.

A good teacher handles this better.  All teachers are not good teachers.
