Does your gifted child complain that school work is boring or not meaningful?  This is a common reaction of intellectually curious students to the content and teaching methods used in traditional schools.  Most schools focus on procedures at the expense of thought.  In this presentation we will discuss why traditional education is so boring and how this can be remedied through a robust emphasis on free thinking and critical inquiry to engage your child to enjoy learning again.
