Or, you could take notes and make suggestions about how it could be better presented.  Now, that would be a novel idea.

I wonder how that would go over, in a kindergarten classroom where the kindergarten teacher's idea of teaching is: the teacher talks, the kindergarteners sit there and listen. [/quote]

In kindergarten, my son actually DID provide his teacher with suggestions about how she could teach differently. (Highly/profoundly gifted, painfully bored for much of the day in K. Yes, he'd entertain himself, but there's only so much entertaining oneself for a 5 yr old that doesn't eventually lead to quality time in the principal's office.)[/quote]

And how did the teacher take that? I can't imagine it was genuinely well-received.

Honestly, she was probably the most understanding teacher he has had so far. She was the one who raised the possibility that my oft-in-trouble kid was gifted. While a school counselor pushed us to get him diagnosed with ADHD because "I don't know what else it could be", the K teacher said "he just reminds me so much of this profoundly gifted child I nannied". She was a teacher who saw something in my kid beyond a prone-to-interruption exceedingly talkative kid. So, when he gave her teaching advice, she received it warmly and thanked him for his great ideas. She was amazing. [/quote]
