[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not at all and I'm completely against technology as a means just to make material more interesting, but that said, it can be boring to do worksheets all the time, especially if they are of things you already know very well.  It can be boring to hear the same information repeated over and over when you already know it. Children shouldn't be allowed to act out because of repetition, but I do think more children would be engaged if they had a little more control over what they were learning and if the materials they used for learning were a bit more varied.

I feel like a broken record. Of course worksheets all the time are bad for all kids, exceptional or not. If this is happening you need to talk to the teacher and, if nothing improves, you need to switch classrooms or even schools. Many of us, however, find this "all worksheets, all the time" scenario a little hard to believe because we know this to be contrary to policy in our school districts and have had very positive experiences with differentiation for our own gifted kids.
