[quote=Anonymous]Both of my sons had already achieved all K academic milestones before starting K. Both are in language immersion. For my oldest, the language piece kept him interested for the first four months or so, then all downhill from there as he had to sit through repeat instructions in target language and English, and then do skills practice on already mastered skills. No pull outs, and he was a disaster come second half of the year. More challenge = much better behavior, because he was engaged and not looking to entertain himself (no good comes of a give year old boy trying to keep himself entertained in a classroom).

Second son had good differentiation and pull out options in K. Far fewer problems with him.

So yes, I do think a kid can be "bored" as in not engaged, and I do think it can lead to real problems. Those problems will be characterized as behavior problems on the part of your child, or ADHD, or whatever. They won't likely be characterized as a school setting not meeting the child's needs.
