[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The difference is parents of gifted/academically talented kids that are ‘bored’ in class but have no behavior issues generally don’t bring up to other parents up how bored their child is or may be because class is soooo easy.  It’s rude.

The parents that do bring up how bored their kids are are usually training to justify why their child is a PIA in class, whether they are smart or not [/quote]

1.  There are a lot of socially clueless people out there.  They might not understand how it would be rude.

2.  The parent knows that the other parents' child is very smart or advanced, too.  So, they're assuming that the other parents' child is also complaining of boredom at school, and they're trying to compare notes.  [/quote]

Wait, you're affirming this absurd opinion that it is rude/offensive to mention to someone that your child is bored at school?  This is neither rude nor offensive, people.  There are a zillion reasons kids could be bored at school, and it does not imply that the kids are misbehaving or that the parents are bragging about the kids' intelligence!!!  Talk about clueless.

PP here.  Naah..  I'm saying that it all depends on the specific person who is saying that their kid is bored.  I've encountered people who are simply making conversation.  I've also encountered people who are implying that their kid is so much smarter and more advanced than everyone else's.   I've even encountered socially clueless people who are trying to make conversation, but come across like the braggy parents.  [/quote]
