Does anyone have experience of a bright child being disruptive due to being bored?

My ds has Aspergers and we are having a nightmare with his school - feel very let down. He is only five & in reception, but arrived at school able to read fluently (started to read at three), add, subtract blah blah. We think he is very bright. For the last year in Reception he's been doing Jolly phonics etc and basically working about two years behind his ability IMO. We are constantly told that his behaviour is deteriorating (long story) but I am convinced that part of this is due to his being bored witless. He is now spending more and more time out of the classroom and not learning anything at all
Has anyone experience of a bored child acting up and what did you do to solve the problem and did it work? Please help! Have meeting on Friday and want to bring ideas to the table.

Aloha - sorry it didn't go well. Will look out for your post in SN. Have to say that even giving you an 8.30 appy didn't bode well with me. IME that mean't they thought you'd be in and out by 9.

Have seen your other thread and think the school sounds awful.

I do think you should voice your concerns/make a complaint to the governors. The governors' duty is to ensure that the school is providing an education suitable for every child.

I think it's extraordinary that they won't even agree to a Home-School Book - I know that some children in both DSs' classes have them, for a variety of reasons.
