[quote=Anonymous]Fwiw, OP, school is boring for lots of kids, but that doesn't necessarily mean your child is gifted. She may be, but don't jump from the determination that your child is bored to the assumption that she's just too smart for the class. Secondly, the issue of showing the work for math is hardly an outrage - that was the requirement when I was a kid and it's still a requirement for my 3rd grader. Finally, you are quick to diagnose your child as NOT having ADHD, and I"m not in a position to contradict you -- but note that there is a variant of ADHD where the issue is inability to concentrate (I believe it's called ADHD/inattentive.) Kids with this type of ADHD can focus on some solo activities but have difficulties in group settings. I mention this because when I've posted on these boards about my child's struggles, others have suggested that as a possibility. Just something to consider.[/quote]
