Kindergarten is never boring.

It is the best grade of the entire school career.  Why would anyone want their kid to pass that year?[/quote]
Why is it so hard for some people to understand that some kids really have that drive and thirst for knowledge early on?  It's not about rushing.  Instead, it's about listening to your child and being their advocate.  How many times does a person have to say, "Each child is different."  Don't be a hater or be so quick to criticize just because you don't believe or don't relate.[/quote]

Because I can now say as a parent of a 3rd grader, that those advanced kids change so much once there is real skill and initiative needed.

It is really true that it evens out by 3rd grade. Kids that read themselves chapter books in K mean nothing.[/quote]
So the advanced kids become slow or average and then the slow ones become geniuses.  Does that make you feel better to make those generalizations?  Ok.  Way to go, mom.[/quote]

The advanced kids were not really advanced and being able to read in K is not the same as reding in 3rd grade.  Also, the realization of their acting out is not from their brilliancy and boredom but from impulse control issues, add issues, etc..[/quote]

You can be both brilliant and have impulse control problems!  The most brilliant boy in my child's HGC has so much energy that he can not physically sit still.   [/quote]
