Commentary: Bored in School

By Keith Frome

Buffalo, NY – Listener-Commentator Keith Frome is a respected Buffalo area educator who was once headmaster of the Elmwood-Franklin School. He's written a book titled "How's My Kid Doing" that answers questions from parents about their child's education.

From time to time, we're going to share excerpts from the book in our commentary segment.

One parent writes, "My child says he's bored at school. Clearly, he's too intelligent for the class he's in. Shouldn't his school create a special program for him?"

Here is Keith Frome's response. Click the "listen" icon above to hear it now or use your podcasting software to download it to your computer or iPod.
