[quote=Anonymous]Just because a child is "bored," doesn't mean that what he or she is being taught is inappropriate. I have a 2nd grader that reads well above grade level and claims that she is "bored" with what she is learning in class. However, when I quiz her, it's clear that, even though she is a great reader, she still needs to master many of the skills she is being taught when it comes to writing (spelling, punctuation, etc). Her ability to read outstrips her actual technical knowledge of the language, and I'm sure it is "boring" to go back and learn it. However, it is necessary, albeit not nearly as much fun as reading chapter books about topics that interest her. No one ever said that school was always going to be fun. [/quote]
