I love when people roll their eyes at things like this. Yes, there are kids who are bored senseless in school because they are smart and advanced. Truly, there are, whether or not your kid is one of them.

NP, who has multiple kids and only one of them fits this description.[/quote]

I taught for ten years and literally NEVER encountered this. Super smart kids are the least likely to be bored because they generally are really easy to task with extensions and/or they are very creative at coming up with their own things.

99% likely parents who say this sort of stuff are parents of totally average kids who just aren't that into school.[/quote]

+2.  The boy sounds average and says he is bored, like all average kids do.  He probably just needs a hobby.  Maybe suggest that he reads a book or volunteers somewhere.

+1. kids who love learning (and who usually have parents who love learning) find all kinds of creative ways to learn. From a few of these OP's posts, it seems like she and her kid actually kind of dislike learning...[/quote][/quote]
