[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with the teacher above. Too many parents use the "bored" word to complain and the kids pick it up. Few children are truly bored--they just want to do what they want to do. Former teacher.[/quote] Alright Former Teacher, can you give assurance that a child who is academically advanced, reading above K level will be engaged and enjoy K? [/quote] +1 DS is extremely advanced in math and language. Boredom was a big issue in K and elementary, he found most of what they were teaching to be far too slowly paced, and stuff he already knew inside out and so he would completely withdraw and zone out. The teachers never knew what to do with him. We ended up having to pursue some more aggressive and creative solutions to keep him engaged and interested in school. I think people are fooling themselves if they think everything's hunky dory with an advanced learner using the standard approach. [/quote]
