Emphasize the previous poster's comment:
And never use the word "bored"! The word "bored" sounds negative. "Bored" describes a child's disengaged response to a situation, and this may cause the conversation to focus on remediating your child's attitude. Not where parents want a conversation to go. It is more advantageous to describe your child's relative strengths (and, when applicable, relative weaknesses) in factual, observable, unemotional terms. For example, state when the child mastered the currently prescribed curriculum, as this provides a solid base to build on.
We can talk about boredom and being bored here on the forums, but NOT when advocating, NOT in meetings.
ETA: Hoagies has a webpage, "
Never Say Bored!"
