[quote=Anonymous]I have two gifted, very high IQ kids... sometimes they tell me that they are "bored" but in reality they haven't really even paid attention to the assignment or even done a very good job with their written explanation. Smart kids need to be taught to excel at their work, do it neater, write more, revise more. Not just be given new challenges but to truly do an above average response on their work. Smart kids sometimes are very lazy, it's easy for them to spew out the average, or about average response quickly. Fine tuning and creating an exceptional response is what is troublesome for them. I think sometimes we want to ADVANCE gifted kids before the have achieved full MASTERY of a subject. Smart kids are bored, the have to learn how to entertain their minds and re-work and delve deeper on their own. That is when true genius comes out, they have to learn to think in depth about simple problems at a younger age. [/quote]
