My 2nd grader's teacher called me today to inform me that she has been having trouble with my son not focusing and acting up in class. I worked in the school system for a number of years and don't want to be one of those parents who insists my child is gifted when all the teachers are looking at me like I'm and idiot for even thinking that. He began to complain about school last year. He would say he was bored, they never learn anything new, and they learn the same things everyday. So I began to ask him more specifics daily so I could get a better understanding of what exactly was frustrating him. From what I could tell, they would spend about a week or so on each thing they were learning. For example, they spent a week learning the 'oa' vowel combination. Okay, that sounds fairly standard to me, but I was advanced in school and so was my husband so my thought at the time was that he just needs some advanced classes or to be allowed to move ahead or faster. I brought this up to his teacher last year and the response I got was "why? There's too much to learn in first and second grade and he doesn't know everything". I let it go at the time because there was only a few weeks of school left. I didn't bring it up at the beginning of this school year simply because I wanted to see how he would do and how a new teacher would be. Now because it has become a behavior issue there is no way they would test him or put him in an advanced program and I understand why at this point. But I can't help still feeling like it's a boredom problem. What do I do? Is there anything I can do?
