[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a first grade teacher I have rarely heard that kids are bored. Anytime it happened, the kids were not the top kids in the class academically. [b]My truly gifted students truly don't get bored in school. [/b]They are fantastically curious and innovative. For example, at the beginning of first grade one year we were reading alphabet books and then each child would make a page of our class alphabet book with a sentence and picture. My brightest kid made her own alphabet book, pages A through Z. [/quote]

This is a belief I have only encountered on DCUM. And it's circular reasoning, too.

1. Truly gifted students don't get bored in class.
2. Therefore, if a student does get bored in class, that student is not truly gifted.

I think it's nonsense.[/quote]

It's true, whether you believe it or not.  My kids both have very high IQs but don't say they are bored, esp. related to school.  I can see from work that comes home that the work would not be fun to complete but neither kid says he/she is bored.[/quote]
