How to motivate bright kids who are bored in class?
Read all 3 answers >
My son is in 2nd grade and his teachers from pre-school to now have told me he is super bright but can't seem to stay focused in class. He likes to walk around or fidget, or worse, bother other children. He doesn't seem fidgety to me at home and can often focus for long periods of time on things he likes to do (ie. building with Legos, making things with wood, or reading Harry Potter Series). He told me he's bored in class. How do I tell his teachers perhaps his behavior is due to boredom without hurting their feelings? Is there something I teach my son to make him less fidgety in class?
