I love when people roll their eyes at things like this. Yes, there are kids who are bored senseless in school because they are smart and advanced. Truly, there are, whether or not your kid is one of them.

NP, who has multiple kids and only one of them fits this description.[/quote]

I taught for ten years and literally NEVER encountered this. Super smart kids are the least likely to be bored because they generally are really easy to task with extensions and/or they are very creative at coming up with their own things.

99% likely parents who say this sort of stuff are parents of totally average kids who just aren't that into school.[/quote]

this.  Plus, I'd bet my next dividend that OP's son plays a lot of video games when not at school.

Every. last. boy. I know who is 'bored' in school plays hours of video games every day.  A related phenomenon is that whenever they are banned from playing on their phones -- like, say, during class -- they are "bored.'

These boys are smart, or at least I assume they are because their parents are highly educated, but they're not Stephen Hawking who has zero to learn from school.  They just can't handle the pace of real life and in person engagement.[/quote]
