[quote=Anonymous]My kid was bored in K. Know why? He is dyslexic and all the academic work he was asked to do made him feel terrible, and he hated it, so he checked out. And said he was bored all the time. The kids in his class who were academically advanced weren’t bored - they loved reading out loud, and writing stories, and describing the weather using words off the word wall in front of their friends. “Bored” for little kids is usually code for “I can’t do it” rather than “I know it already.” So I wouldn’t worry too much about boredom. I also would stop teaching your kid the material ahead of time, though, which cheats her out of the opportunity to learn in school with her friends. Some kids just go ahead and learn on their own, or beg to be taught, and if you have one of those kids, sure, you may need some different strategies or schooling come 3rd grade or so.[/quote]
