[quote=Anonymous]Last spring I mentioned boredom, teacher agreed DC is a fast-finisher, and immediately began pouring on more worksheets. DC knew what was up and rebelled. DC is in now in 4th grade. We just had our first parent/teacher conference. This time, the teacher mentioned boredom. I pricked up my ears. She said it when a child is bored, it was due to a lack of creativity, student is not using full span of attention, is turning off part of brain, and is thinking "i'm bored" instead of "oooh, that's interesting..." or "wow, maybe I could take this lesson in this other, more interesting direction..." In the same meeting, she mentioned how CREATIVE dc is, always drawing, singing, writing lyrics, making jokes, etc. What does it all mean? Too many differently shaped pegs to fit into one round hole, i'm afraid.[/quote]
