[quote=Anonymous]OP again.

Kid is in 7th at a K-12, we were planning to stay through 12th but kid is unhappy because they are bored. They did a great STEM camp over the summer and seemed happy again, now we’re into the school year and they complain that school is mostly memorizing with no deep engagement.

I don’t know what I’d push the school to do. Last year they at least let them finish math work in advance (they’d do 2 weeks of work in 1 day) and then do challenge problems, but Dc says it was boring and I think it was lonely.

I almost want to hear that DC is exceptional and might not be deeply engaged at most schools (depending on class and teacher of course), not because I need or want an exceptional kid but because I don’t want to change schools. But it seems silly to keep them at a place where they are bored. Everyone talks about Sidwell or STA being so rigorous, and I wish I knew what that meant. I don’t necessarily want the extra workload or pressure for my DC, but they obviously aren’t happy with the current situation.
