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]

Agree!  I bet the person saying "deal with boredom" would also get quite quickly get annoyed and frustrated if forced to waste hours and hours of her time each and every day, particularly knowing there are better things she could be doing but is not allowed to do them.[/quote]
