The child gets in trouble a lot because he is board. He needs more stimulation

You might check into a Montesorri school for your child. They offer a whole different outlook on education letting the child set the pace. Its not for every one but if you have no sucess with your school gifted/advance placement you might check this out.\n\nGood luck!

Talk with the principal immediately. It is completely ridiculous that your child should be left to suffer for the sake of the lowest common denominator. Fight on behalf of your child.

tell your father about this. Let the children do what they want. They will have a bored point which make them stop themselves to do such that things.

Authorities need to let him be. He obviously was not happy meditating in that area and is off to find a better place. The boy can not be enlightened with so many people hovering over him.

It's hard in a situation like that.  I coach fifteen year old girls and I had a similar incident and I wasn't sure how to go about helping her.  It took me awhile to try and get her help because I wanted to make sure and have the best action plan.

how about making a board with all the sounds on it to help teach children how to spell

That's a tough one.  There probably is something to some of the complaints but now it sounds like maybe he's been pegged as a problem - rightfully or not.  Why not run this one past a professional counselor who can look at things unbiased and unattached to the situation? It will cost some money, but hey, the kid is worth it!

Make them laugh.  That always gets a child's attention.  Be silly dance around, play music and make funny faces.  I've had three kids and making things they don't want to listen to fun or funny always worked.  They are 11, 10 and 7 now and it still works...although my oldest will turn her head now so I can't see her laugh. : )

MOST YOUNG KIDS AREN'T RESPONSIBLE ENOUGH. EVERYTHING IS JUST ADVENTUROUS AND FUN...BUT TO SOME SICKO'S ITS AN OPPROTUNITY TO GET OFF OR INTRODUCE THINGS TO CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS

Set the rules and follow them no exception. He should know what he will get punished for and when he'll be rewared. I agree with the previous post about taking away a favorite toy, no TV works too. If he likes TV or a particular toy, give it to him after he's done his homework or something else as valuable as a reward, but not for too long.

This is a tough, but fairly common, issue. Obviously, your administration is either clueless or powerless in this matter. A couple things might work. First, I would call the child's parents and ask to meet with them and the child after school. Explain succinctly and directly what the issue is and how they would like to see the matter resolved. Often, however, a child who behaves like this has issues at home, so that may not work. So, I would try to keep him after school with you to help out in the lab or the classroom in some manner. Give him some responsibilities, which could help boost his confidence a little, and engage him one-on-one in whatever topics interest him during this time. You can subtely approach the issue of his behavior, but not in a forceful way. I find that having that kind of relationship with a student can help manage behavior without having to resort to severe disciplinary measures.

Smart kids often have motivation issues.\n\nHe needs to learn WHY education is important. Why should he do all this stuff. What does it matter? No, avoiding punishment is NOT an adequate response to this. He needs to know what his own interests are, and HOW what he's doing in school relates to them.\n\nAlso, he may need Gifted education support. Request that he be tested.\n\nGifted education is not about "playtime" or "rewards," and it is NOT just for straight-A students.\n\nActually, the kids that are very bright that are underperforming need Gifted Education programming the most!\n\nhttp://www.metagifted.org/topics/gifted/underachievement/\n\nhttp://www.hoagiesgifted.org/underachiever.htm\n\nhttp://www.gifted-children.com.au/link/special_needs/underachievement\n\nhttp://www.kisser.net.au/pdeo/peac/page8.html

There are lots of good answers above here.  I think that if he is doing well academically, he is probably bored with the curriculum and needs more of a mental challenge.  Additionally, gifted children are often socially immature, and this can be overwhelming for a child.  A 5 year old does not have the presence of mind to self correct their behavior--think of how hard it is for you as an adult to cope with your feelings of overwhelm when they happen.\n\nWhen talking to him about his bad behavior, ask him questions about what was happening when he had his meltdowns.  He will not know how to answer "why" he did them, but by asking the right questions, you may be able to determine a pattern that triggers the "overhwhelm"--transitional times, loud times, unstructured times in the school day, etc.  Answers to these types of questions may help you, as the adult, to help him identify his behavior patterns and self-correct.  This takes YEARS of learning for the little guys, and you'll need to be patient.  Get help from a counselor if you can to see if you can nip it in the bud before it becomes full-blown oppositional-defiant behavior, much harder to correct as they get older.\n\nYour little boy is probably gifted--do some research on the net to see how best to support him as he grows!\n\nGood luck!\n\nP.S. You also should talk to the school about their discipline policy.  It seems to me that an in-school suspension is NOT age-appropriate.  Are they actually using effective methods of discipline when dealing with your son?

oh my!!\n please please try this: instead of taking things away from him make him earn things.  reward him when he has good behaivor.  create a behavior system. \n\nA good example would be make a chart of the things that he would like to do or go.  And tell him he has to have good behaivor and not get into trouble at school for a specific number of day before he will be able to do that.  I can give you many more ideas if you are interested.  just email me at teddybear_1829@yahoo.com\n\nBut the one thing I can tell you is that it will never get better if you make it seem to him that you are just taking things away from him.

I hate to tell you this but some of this sounds very familiar to me.  Try some different professionals because if you feel in your heart that there is a problem, then there probably is.  Sometimes the "professional" can't properly diagnose because these kids choose to be on their best behavior when you take them in there, and they are actually trying to analyze the current situation or the doctor.  Good Luck
