[quote=Anonymous]Don't most teachers let kids read when they are done with their seated work? That's been our experience. This is the only way kids many kids can get by in school and it's not just those with impulsivity or attention issues. We're at a school where many of the kids are very advanced and if you drop by at a number of times a day you'll often see a bunch of them just reading while the teacher runs around helping the rest of the class (like my DS) finish up their work. I've never heard any of these children complaining that they are bored. If anything they seem really happy in the class. If they had to sit around twiddling their thumbs I'm sure they'd create mischief and get in trouble and start to dislike school. It's a win-win for the teacher and the kids. OP, I think it is more than reasonable for you to talk to the teacher about this. Forget those PPs who mentioned things like home schooling. Sheesh.[/quote]
