I know a lot of people say that if they're happy you should leave it be. But I would be happier never ever being challenged, never having to fail at anything, never having to do homework or really think hard about something.
Is that a good thing? Or should I have to learn to learn, learn to fail and try again, learn to work at something.
I think rising to a challenge is an invaluable life skill, so I do push the school to teach at an appropriate level. For me it's not about potential, but about working at something that's difficult instead of cruising through.
