 bright child isn't necessarily born with the users manual to the universe implanted in his brain. Yes, they learn quickly, but still need to be guided. But if the amount of guidance is limited relative to their capabilities and ends up holding them back, they may also easily fall into bad patterns and habits driven by their boredom in class, i.e. disruptive behavior, they may sour on school and become disinterested in academics, et cetera. You don't think that isn't going to happen when they learn the material in half or a third of the time as compared to their classmates and then have nothing to do to keep them occupied? You do them every bit as much of a disservice by not meeting their needs as you would by not meeting the needs of a child with a learning disability. [/quote]

So, please tell me which children don't deserve an IEP?  Those two kids that fall into "average"?  Give me a break.  Count your blessings and teach your child that sometimes there is value in busy work.

If a student is grades ahead then he isn't learning anything and is just sitting in class twiddling his thumbs, wasting his time, and schools little more than a glorified daycare.[/quote]
