[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a human who has a slightly above average IQ I wonder what boredom someone with a high IQ would intellectually suffer from? Even if I converse with someone who has a  lower IQ than myself we can still find things in common, things to laugh about, etc. 
To me not every conversation needs to be of an academic sort.

So what is the purpose of having a high IQ? And in school if you already understand the content why wouldn’t you just go ahead? And wouldn’t the only classes that child be bored in be math and science? That’s just 2/7-8 subjects…

Is that really a big deal to OP? [/quote]

Huh?  Do you think students can just socialize at will?

They are bored when having classes and worksheets to learn to spell words they have known for years, they are bored when they listen to yet another lesson on how to use “their, they’re, and there,” they are bored when they listen to and then do worksheets on yet another lesson on using tape diagrams to show addition and subtraction.  They are bored when they read the social studies lesson and answer the questions in 1/3 the time allotted.

They don’t have textbooks, so they can’t just read a different lesson, they usually aren’t allowed to read something on their own when they are supposed to be listening to the teacher present a lesson.  [/quote]
