[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think anyone believes that being bored=being gifted.  Kids at all levels of aptitude can get bored in school.

As far as gifted kids.  Yes, they do get bored.  I am sorry.  To those of you who say your bright child does not get bored--just be thankful.  [b]They are obviously not so far out bright that they need more accommodation.

My DD will start kindergarten next fall and is already fluently reading.  I can tell her expectations of kindergarten are too high.  She thinks everyone will be reading big chapter books like her and will be ready to learn math.  She is excited to go to school to learn and do work.  We are trying our best to play up the play parts of kindergarten.[/quote]

This is my [b][i]very[/i] [/b]favorite DCUM phrase. Yes, I've seen it before, and this ridiculous twit isn't the first poster to use it. I just love "your kid must not be as smart as mine" - the ridiculousness brings a smile to my face. Especially from a mom whose kid [b][i]hasn't started school yet.[/i][/b]  You can't make this stuff up.

Signed, Mom who is a National Merit Scholar herself and whose kids were reading chapter books (take that!) in K and are now in magnets (why do I say this? to establish street cred about my kids being just as smart, or smarter, than yours)[/quote]
