Similar situation: 9 year old 4th grader at a gifted school (different state) hates the literature class and just won't do any in-class assignments. We are trying to meet with the principal and teacher and not getting very far--they say they will differentiate but they don't really understand that additional assignments about a book that my daughter is "done with" don't really help. It's difficult though because I don't think they believe she's unchallenged because she just won't produce anything. We have these issues here and there during school and typically if the work gets ramped up, so does her output, but I do wonder about LDs. Based on the original description of Cola's problem, I'm a bit surprised that so many suspect a LD because it sounds like outright boredom to me. In this situation, what are the indicators of a LD?
