[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]?[/quote] I think it's ridiculous because usually they are implying that their child is gifted or advanced. But, as more than one teacher has said to me, truly gifted children are never bored in school because they're always finding something to investigate. So, the "my kid is smart b/c s/he is bored" bromide doesn't actually signal gifted aptitude at all. [/quote] Good lord. What if the kid is not ALLOWED to investigate?[/quote] that doesn't actually happen, you know. kids when they finish their work are usually permitted -- indeed encouraged -- to go read, write, do a project, have center time, whatever.[/quote]
