My 8 year old 3rd grader never ever complains that he is bored at school. He prefers lower level books (was testedat a 5th grade level in 1st grade for what it's worth),and is quite happy to do the grade level math work even though he has mastered it. He does go to 4th grade math. His 3rd grade teacher is wonderful at differentiating, but even if she didn't, I think he would be perfectly content. He is wonderfully behaved in school - a model student, from what I hear. Not entirely sure how gifted he is (or even if he is LOL - still got that denial going on) - but I know they're working with him at school, and he is happy, so I'll enjoy it while it lasts
