"There is no such thing as being bored anymore because schools do a great job of recognizing different levels."
I had a job stopping my hysterical laughter over that one. My! My ribs are still sore. I just had lung surgery too so I hope I didn't break anything back open there.
If *only* we all lived in the parallel reality that the person uttering that remark lived in or that that reality existed anywhere outside of that person's poor simple and deluded mind..
Gosh, please take better care of yourself! Maybe get off the Internet for good for a few days, in order to not be exposed to so much ludicrousness.
Once you are recovered, you can head over to the recent thread on inclusion and find that the majority of the “total inclusion” advocates tend to live in this deluded parallel reality.
The rest will insist that school is only for the social experience anyway.
As I have previously suggsted, remarks like these are all about the remarkers inability to wrap their minds around the idea that the remarkee’s kid might be so much smarter than their own that the reality doesn’t work for them like that. The cognitive dissonance between the idea “my child is one of the smartest and surely just as smart as yours” and “my child’s needs appear to be met without a grade skip” cannot be bridged any other way,
