[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ADHD, anxiety, and other similar issues have nothing to do with intelligence. Children can be smart, very bright, gifted, ahead in school and struggle with behavior because of ADHD, anxiety, and other similar issues. It can be harder for parents of said children to receive a 504 plan or an IEP if their smart child with one of the above issues  because the schools tend to require a child be failing or struggling academically in order to provide services for a child.

That said, the parents of kids who score high on the various tests with ok to crappy GBRSs and who are complaining about their child being bored and that is why their behavior is awful are not saying that their kid has ADHD, anxiety, or some other issue that is affecting their behavior in the classroom. These parents tend to complain that the Teacher just doesn’t like their kid and won’t acknowledge their child's genius. I tend to think that there are behavior problems that the parents are not addressing with their kids.

The parents who mention that their kid has ADHD, anxiety, or other similar issues at least gives the appearance that they are aware that their child is struggling with behavior and that it impacting the child and the classroom. The parent who just assumes that their genius child is going to behavior better in AAP because the program will meet their kids needs and school will suddenly not be boring and their child will no longer be disruptive are delusional.

Take a look at psychological studies on profoundly gifted kids, these kids might show signs of ADHD but can not be diagnosed since they don’t have attention issues.  A reasonable amount of questioning against everything is what moves humanity forward, think about 400 years ago humans were still believing earth is flat and it’s the center of universe…. And Wave–particle duality…. If it doesn’t take people to question and take what’s been taught face value how a society move forward?  We often dislike questioning and arguing in our schools, but these qualities are valuable in today’s corporate world, and these kids should be taught how to question and discuss other possibilities instead of argue, but their curiosity should not be discouraged.[/quote]

Until the little genius publishes their ground breaking thesis, they need to learn how to not disrupt class no matter how profound their observations on Joody Moody happen to be [/quote]
