Why are you so bitter?  You are obviously projecting.  What you have written says a lot more about you than someone you don't know and their child.

The point is--You cannot make blanket statements.  There are definitely kids who suffer from boredom in school because of how advanced they are.  If you can't understand that you are not too bright.  Think beyond your own bright children.  There are kids out there that are twice as advanced as they.  You know, maybe the boring work your kids happily do other kids will find absolutely stultifying.[/quote]

Stop already with telling everyone else their kids are dumber than yours. It makes you sound like you have low self-esteem and live through your child's success -- which, frankly, is not that extraordinary, as others have pointed out to you.

YOU can't understand that TRULY bright kids are rarely bored, because they are so curious that they need to explore. Sorry your kid isn't quite this smart.

It's a scientific fact that kids' brains develop at different rates. Come back in 2nd grade when all the other kids are reading chapter books and yours no longer stands out. Then you will have to find another way to validate yourself.[/quote]
