Yes I get into a conversation with someone that only lives on the extremes and it drives me insane lol.

I think addressing *boredom* here on this board is very different than addressing boredom with others. I know of parents with struggling kids who complain that school is boring. I can imagine sitting in on a Quantum mechanics class that's at a very speedy pace, I'd probably get bored after awhile followed by frustration.

I wish my son had had it w/in himself to do what he needed to do to make it through the day. He just didn't. But there was also NO accommodations made for him. And from a couple of sources (one from within the school) that nothing was going to happen for him. I saw no point in fighting and it's just not me anyhow.

As I said, it's highly kid dependent. My kid totally shut down and I saw no benefit in having him deal w/ boredom AS he perceived it.
