[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you sound insecure.

Some kids are bored because they are too advanced, and some kids are bored because of the way material is presented, and some kids are bored because they have adhd.  If you're a 5 year old who wants to be playing and your teacher has you memorizing sight words, that's boring.  Sorry if that offends you.[/quote]

I am not insecure. I think my child is amazing. She went to a play based preschool where they played outside all day. When she talks about kindergarten, she talks about her friends and tells me stories about the other kids in her class. She loves school.

We are considering private for many reasons. I want my child to be outside and play more! Other parents are considering private for other reasons like their child being bored in public. I know my child will do great in public or private.[/quote]

Let's revisit your original quote: "I find it insulting when parents say their kid is bored. They are implying that their kid is so much smarter and more advanced than the other kids in the class."
Why would you feel INSULTED if someone said their child was bored in class?  As mentioned above, there are many reasons a child might find school boring. They aren't implying what you think they are.  Also, if your child is amazing and you believe that, it wouldn't bother you if someone else was implying that their child is smart by saying that the child is bored.
