[quote=Anonymous]We thought we were meeting with the teacher about DD's poor behavior. We thought they were going to ask to institute a very severe punishment system when the teacher said, "Please let me know if your husband can't join us, and we will reschedule for a a time that is also convenient for him."

Turned out it was a meeting with the teacher, the head teacher for the grade, the principal and the school psychologist. They believe DD is acting up because she is bored. They believe DD is bored because she already knows each concept being taught and if she comes across something she doesn't know, she teaches it to herself quickly. I am a little in shock. We don't have to make a decision today or anything but the school psychologist said that the more of the year she can spend in the company of the kids she'll spend the majority of her school years with, the better. She is in 4th grade.

Has anyone dealt with this before? What sorts of things do we even need to consider? I am wondering if I should ask DD's pediatrician or is that ridiculous? [/quote]
