My heavens, yes, and why do these 8- and 9-year-olds act so silly in school? No, not every school and every teacher is boring all the time, but way too many schools have way too many kids sitting for way too long. Boredom, lack of choice and the inability to move the body will turn a “well-behaved” child into a “silly” child, and fast. Is every child silly because every child is bored? If, though, it emerges that your child is the primary problem, he needs support and encouragement to belong to the class in a productive way, not a silly way.
