[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s your theory, op? That they are lying about being bored? Or they are not bored but simply miscreants, unlike your eager and non-bored child? [/quote] NP. But actually yes, all of the above are plausible theories. I have bright kids that knew all the K material before K and pretty much have been testing a couple grade levels ahead at minimum in all subjects and started academically talented programs once in upper el and middle school. They never said they were bored. They behaved in class and did what was asked of them with out complaints. At home we would supplement work that was on par with their level plus some challenges- but for their own growth, not bc they were “bored.” I do believe much of the time parents use the “he/she is bored” either to humble bragging or using it to excuse away bad behavior.
