DD says she is really bored in school. It's not a 'she's bright and the work is too easy' thing; I know she is being challenged adequately. She just says it's boring. How do I tackle this - I don't know how I can talk to her (lovely) teacher about it because it sounds rude ie. your classes are too dull! I've said that she can't possibly be bored all the time and that everyone has to do some things they don't like but it does seem to be a real problem. She's never really liked school but her mood and behaviour seem to be going rapidly downhill and she gets upset very easily. I had put this down to puberty hormones but she said this morning that she is in a bad mood all the time because she is feeling upset about having to go to school.
I do think she might have a point re. being bored - as an example, she loves French but in this class she says they're just doing the same thing over and over.
Is Y6 work likely to more interesting? I wonder if I can just say hang on for now and see how she goes next year.
