I'm trying to help a friend advocate for a profoundly gifted kindergartener (reading 6 years ahead) in an immersion school setting who is already complaining of boredom and developing behavioral problems just two weeks into school. The teacher recognizes that the girl is gifted, but wants to ignore that and focus on the behavioral issues. She doesn't get that the two things are connected.
Can anyone recommend some short, pithy articles that connect the dots between giftedness, boredom and behavioral problems in clear and simple terms? Maybe something you found effective in educating your own teachers/schools?
Thanks!
