[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend's child was suspended in K for over 10 days in Fairfax and she had an IEP the whole time.

Is this in a local system? I think its weird they moved him to 1st. [/quote]

They may have done this bc the teachers think the kid is acting out out of "boredom".  If you have a kid who is above grade level who has behavioral issues, "boredom" is considered one of the first culprits for misbehavior and it's not only by parents.[/quote]

Sometimes that is the case if the child turns out to be GTLD.  [/quote]

How so?  The child is acting out bc he has an issue and not bc he/she is bored.  If the behavior gets worse after introducing a more challenging curriculum (or skipping a grade in this case), it should be obvious the behavior issue is not due to boredom.   My kid's teachers gave him more challenging work when he was acting out bc they thought he was "bored":  he has an IQ in the profoundly gifted range/above grade level academically and he refused to do any work.  His behavior issues are due to ASD/ADHD not bc of his high IQ.  He needs supports for his deficits (IEP, FBA, and BP) not more challenging schoolwork.[/quote]
