[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Academic achievement isn't the same as behavior.

I have three kids, and t[b]he highest academic achieving student of the three (now at a DCUM brag worthy college) was extremely talkative in class and often in trouble with teachers for talking in class and disrupting others[/b].

By comparison my lowest achieving kid has never had a teacher complaint through high school, and multiple teachers stating he is "pleasure to have in class", but his academic performance is hindered by a learning disability.  [/quote]

Same with mine.  She's bored because she's testing well beyond grade level, but they don't know what to do with her this year. The gifted program doesn't start for another year.  She's always chatting with other kids (some who need to listen) and her teacher or the teacher's aids because the curriculum is boring.  Think reading chapter books and learning long division almost intuitively, while the rest of the class is learning to add and subtract within 20, and learning phonics.  Of course she's disruptive.  She's young and social and bored.  [/quote]
