We got called in to talk to the music teacher because my DS7 is not listening in class and sighs and rolls his eyes sometimes when the teacher is teaching something. She thought he didn't appreciate music, but in fact, he's been learning piano for more than 2 years and is a talented if not gifted player. We finally showed the teacher the video from his latest recital. (By the way, that performance landed him one of the five spots to take a master class with the principal keyboardist at CSO. The other kids are 10 - 12.) The teacher was so surprised that she went speechless for a moment.
The sighing and rolling eyes are not respectful so we did talk to DS about it and ask him not to do that in class. I hope, however, the music teacher now realizes why he's behaving that way - he is just bored out of his mind in music class.
