[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read a book in my lap pretty much each day from 2nd to 5th grade. Didn't act up, teachers let it go. Was a game for me to look up from the book when the teacher called on me and throw out a correct or nearly correct answer. So to me your situation SCREAMS bored highly capable student. Don't focus on "following the rules" as you need to aim for results and the "rules" are not likely designed for your child. Do have your child tested/evaluated. School should do this for you.[/quote] I read a book on my lap, too, and then I ended up skipping 4th grade. My DD also now brings in books and reads every chance she gets. She also pays attention to the teacher and follows class rules. I tell my kids that there is always something to do, even when they find a lesson repetitive or boring. They could be planning out a math game in their head or thinking up ideas for a new story to write. [/quote]
