I would agree about the art class (or music or PE for that matter) - unless it is an area of passion for your child, it is entirely possible to be bored even if you are not "ahead" in that subject. I can definitely remember being bored in some segments of art and music classes and the teachers noticing that I was not all there during those times, and although I loved PE most of the time, if a basketball showed up in class, you would have seen a completely different side of me (I hated basketball).
