Ds is now 9. He enjoys school but he has been saying recently that he is bored. He is I think bright.... his vocabulary is good and he enjoys watching thinks like bbc 4 documentaries and can have interesting conversations about them too. He also reads a lot- we are reading lord of the rings it together and he seems to comprehend most of it. Feedback from school is that he is at an average level and making steady progress. He is very well behaved/ quiet at school. I have never raised any concerns with teachers about him not being stretched because I didn't want to be to be that parent that makes a fuss. Plus I think everyone thinks their child is bright don't they??? Ds says he finishes work quickly sometimes or finds it easy but doesn't want to cause a fuss so just sits quietly. As he's average level and making expected progress school don't seem to think there are any problems
I've been talking to some other parents and I wonder if my laid back attitude is doing him a disservice. He also has now starting saying he's bored at times.... which is a big deal for him as he's normally not a complainer!!!
Should I carry on with my laid back ways, have a quiet word with his teacher? Or think about an ed psych assessment about why he can't translate things onto paper?
Sorry bit long many thanks in advance
