[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with the teacher above.  Too many parents use the "bored" word to complain and the kids pick it up.  Few children are truly bored--they just want to do what they want to do.  Former teacher.[/quote]

Alright Former Teacher, can you give assurance that a child who is academically advanced, reading above K level will be engaged and enjoy K? [/quote]

Not the teacher but have a child who fit that category and loved K. K is as much about social interaction and discovering the world. Reading group was one class a day--and she read different books that made sense. Fast forward and everything catches up. She is still top of her class but I now understand when teachers talk about other kids in various development periods. I think too often the ego of parents get involved. Resist the urge but it all evens out and having a child who thinks she is brighter than everyone will serve as a disservice in later life. I also hate the word bored..and agree that bored is generally bad behaved kids.[/quote]
