My son has/had the opposite tendency and often works too slowly for his teachers either out of boredom and daydreaming or putting too much thought into simplistic requirements (of the lower grades). He apparently works more efficiently at home because his work got done, so I understand your questioning the teacher�s opinion that this is even a problem.
Recently, DS has reported that his teacher has been making a point to mention that he has known many �gifted� people who turn out to be total losers as adults. DS also believes that these comments are directed towards him.
Hmm, is it possible that it�s not?
