DD8 values pleasing people and fitting in far more than knowledge, much less stretching herself in the pursuit of knowledge. My impression after quizzing her about this at the end of 2nd grade is that the thinking power she possesses which is beyond the current grade really is of little use to her at school, and that she spends a lot of time making her brain behave in class when it is bored or when it spots fallacies or ambiguities on tests.
Maybe in some twisted and wrong way that's how she avoids being bored.
