[quote=Anonymous]I don't think someone who says their kid is bored is automatically saying their kid is smarter or more advanced. For instance, I didn't do Montessori for my kid because I think she would have been bored, because at that age she did better with more structure and would have struggled with the "choose your own adventure" nature of the approach. She is smart, but that's not why she'd be bored. Sometimes kids are bored because the setting isn't right for them, because they are not being engaged in a way that meets them where they are at. Kids can also be bored if they are struggling socially, because it takes away a key component of school for children. Even when someone says their kid is bored and clearly means that the academic work is beneath them, they may be mistaken. Their kid might be bored for another reason. Doesn't mean their kid isn't bored though.[/quote]
