[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But would you automatically make the leap that ANYONE who is bored, must be gifted? Like I said - I'm not questioning that advanced kids will get bored sometimes. I get that. I just don't see why there's always this assumption that bored = smart, when I don't always see a 1:1 correlation.[/quote] Frankly, this boredom phenomenon is more a creation of parental projection onto their kids. I think a lot of people are using boredom as 1) an excuse for poor classroom behavior 2) a reason that their child NEEDS to be in AAP. Most kids these days are bored in class at some point. My 2nd grader gets bored. My AAP 6th-grader gets bored. Were you bright-eyed and excited most days of your schooling? I wasn't though I was well-challenged.[/quote]
