[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]it could be that it's just kind of boring - is the teacher kind of boring?

my son is in the AAP program in Ffx and in 3rd grade he loved school, loved his teacher, etc...now, in 4th grade, he says he's bored again - if anything, I think the 4th grade curriculum is more interesting, and I do think he likes some of it, but his teacher is rather boring and I think that's why he is bored

so, could be that your son is advanced, or not, or boring teacher, etc...

I do think that 2nd grade is a bit boring for kids that are reasonably advanced - regardless of whether truly gifted.  I think they are using the year to get the kids at a base level of reading/writing/math before 3rd grade moves on a bit to more advanced concepts.  [/quote]

My 5 yr old is reading chapter books like ivy+bean, judy moody. She can add, subtract 2 and 3 digits, mutiply till 10. She STILL says she is bored.. she says she is bored at school, bored at home, all the freaking time. The only time she is not bored is when she is in music class, playing outside with her friends, or baking at home with me.

I chalk it up to what they consider as truly fun. Maybe school is just not as fun as playing outside so your son calls it boring. Doesnt mean he is not smart. [/quote]
