[quote=Anonymous]Boring people are easily bored? what a crock of caca....you take a smart person and put them in a non-challenging environment, where (to succeed), they have to sit there and listen to things they already know, with no challenge, they will daydream, and not pay attention. Maybe not bored, but not focusing on the work at hand.... Now, a teacher that sees the kid not paying attention can draw several conclusions, including 1) the kid does not care and is not bright, or 2) the kid is not being challenged....it is probably too much to ask second graders to to challenge themselves in a repetitive environment like that (I remember all I wanted to do was get out of the classroom). If the teacher does not recognize the issue properly, it is very easy for a bright, gifted student to receive a low gbrs, and be labeled add, rather than gifted. In my experience, often gifted boys (moreso than girls) are labeled add when what they need is more challenge.[/quote]
