We have had the opposite problem... our DD has also been bored out of her skull, but exerted so much self-control during the day that she got great behavior marks, everyone said she was doing just fine in school, and then she'd get home and detonate. The stress and emotional damage this was causing her each day was phenomenal.
I empathize with your posts. It is disappointing that the rut in the road has not been fixed and is still causing damage to gifted kids even decades after these problems (both cause and effect) have been clearly identified and articulated, and solutions proposed.
