You realize that the most important part of K is to learn how to be a good citizen, not be disruptive, learn to deal with boredom and be able to control oneself.  You need to get a handle on this.  Private schools don't want kids with behavior issues no matter how smart.[/quote]

I totally disagree that it is reasonable for a K student, who is already reading at much higher level, to be happy with educational material meant for those who are not reading yet.

My ds was reading at a high school level in K and was not happy with the curricula at all and hence had some behavioral problems. His behavioral problems were resolved once we placed him into a school with curricula that provided him with a challenge.

Your statement of learning to deal with boredom is quite inappropriate IMHO. Of course, life has boredom and one must learn to deal with it. However, it is unreasonable for a child to sit through classes day after day where he/she is [u]not[/u] learning anything at all since they have already mastered the material. This is educational malpractice!![/quote]
