[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gifted kids don't get bored and behave badly in schools. That's a myth. Truly gifted children always find something to engage themselves. As far as what you should do, I am going with nod passively and ignore. I'm sure the cognitive dissonance is hard for her. And she's not likely to suddenly listen to YOU.[/quote] I get this if the kid is allowed to engage with something else. Some early elementary teachers do things like require prolonged sitting where the kid is forced to engage in content they have already mastered. It happens for sure. Or in your view what is the truly gifted kid doing in this situation? Floating away somewhere else in their brain? [/quote] Yes, exactly- which is also not acceptable to certain teachers because the kid is not “paying attention”[/quote] +2[/quote]
