[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, OP, if you're suddenly hearing a lot of parents in K complaining that their kids are bored, it most likely means the K teacher is terrible.  Some of the kids there are reading chapter books.  The teacher is probably making them slog through BOB books, which are way beneath their level and will do nothing at all for them.  Of course, the kids who are at a BOB books level will not be bored, and the kids who are fluent with chapter books will find school excruciating if the teacher is unable or unwilling to adapt for varying levels of students.

Op here. That is fair.

I do find these parents quite annoying. I learned to read at 3 and my mom used to brag about how smart I was my entire life. This bothered me throughout my childhood. I’m sure I’m projecting my childhood hate for my mom’s bragging onto these parents. I don’t remember being bored at school. I breezed through school with little to no effort and was a naturally good test taker. Dh was not flagged gifted at a young age and was an extremely hard worker. He runs circles around me professionally. [/quote]
