[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dont think the boredom comes from lack of educational enrichment. I 100% believe its lack of physical activity and play. Being in school isnt like being in a job where you get up, walk around, talk to different people, etc. It is more akin to a conference where you need to sit at round tables and have break off groups getting there early in the morning and having to sit and listen to people talk and talk and talk with 5-10 mini breaks of independent thought and interaction.

I dont think the kids are smarter I think they have more physical demands and the lack of movement and independent play is difficult. [/quote]

To add- conferences that are largely speaking-oriented without frequent movement or engaging speakers (reading from their PPs) for me are like death. I struggle to stay awake but dont have this problem anywhere else. Engaging teachers can make a difference, even if your kid already knows the material because they are engaging them socially and emotionally. [/quote]
