Nah, pretty much everyone of slightly above average intelligence spends most of school bored.
- Terr_ 6mo agoYeah, "bored" is a shared symptom which can come from a broad set of causes which call for different responses. Some non-exhaustive examples: 1. Bored because they already knows the material. 2. Bored because the particular in-class activities are not engaging but they'll make more progress at home. 3. Bored because the entire subject seems like pointless memorization. 4. Bored because of a neurochemical issue.

- roncesvalles 6mo ago"Bored" as the reason that a student is underperforming is almost always bs. If you're so smart then just perfect the material and ace your tests. It should be exciting not boring. I went to a magnet high school. The very smart kids have a lot of fun running circles around everybody else.
