[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think most of the kids who are bored in K just prefer the play based style of the preschool classroom.  There is a lot more sitting and focused work.  Most K classrooms offer something for kids at various levels.  They know their letters but are working on writing them into words and making them better on the page.[/quote]

I agree. My kid complains he's bored at school all the time, but really its just because he's not able to do the exact thing he wants to be doing...which is playing with Legos or daydreaming. His teacher seems to do a good job of engaging them and keeping the kids up and active all day (lots of role playing, group work, etc). My kid also "hates" counting and reading so it's not because he's some kid-genius. I have totally worked with him and he's been in preschool...but I'm not forcing something that he is just not ready for. [/quote]

Should also add that the teachers note that he does well at school. He needs some nudging to work harder, but is well-behaved and shows constant improvement. [/quote]
