I really don't think Kriston is trying to push parents into anything. I just think she and her son had such a bad experience with school and it is because of this her views are the way they are. It really comes down to individual children and how they deal with the boredom. Boredom for most of the day might not cause a child to act out but still could cause other issues such as losing the love of learning. We as parents know our children the best. I just see Kriston saying watch for the signs and if you are feeling uncomfortable trust your instincts because there could be damage if the child is left in that situation. But I do agree that we are not going to find the perfect solution for our HG+ kids and they will need to learn how to deal with some boredom. I know when my daughter starts public school I suspect she will be bored but if this causes her to change to the point that she isn't my happy, inquisitive child then I will be working the chain for solutions or pulling her out.
