Interesting. I always wonder if "boredom" means different things to different people. Beyond your DD10's ability to engage and take things to a deeper level, which is such a great skill, I also think some GT kids have such an active inner life and imagination that they welcome the opportunity to be "bored" in school so they can live in their heads for a while. Maybe less imaginative kids--especially those reared on TV and video games--require more external stimulation?

Just a theory...
