[quote=Anonymous]I find it amazing that anyone can write (or believe!) that "gifted kids are never bored."  Of course they are - everyone gets bored sometimes, including gifted kids. The source of the boredom is another question.

My highly gifted son easily finds ways to entertain himself when he is bored in school. Unfortunately, his teacher doesn't appreciate his methods of self-entertainment (art and socializing).  She wants everyone paying attention to the same thing at the same time. Whether you already know the material is irrelevant. You still have to work on sounding out the words and partnering with another student.

My son's teacher pairs kids off as follows: rank kids in order of ability. Draw a line in the middle, creating two ranked lists. Pair up kids by taking one kid from each end of the spectrum so that the most advanced in that half ends up with the least advanced in that half. The only kids well matched are, of course, the ones in the middle as their abilities ended up similar to their partner. [/quote]
