    Bright children enjoy school and find the work appropriately challenging. They perform well but do not question or challenge the teacher. Gifted children, on the other hand, often dislike school because they find the material too easy and repetitive. They may daydream, read other books, or act out to alleviate boredom. While bright children learn easily through repetition, gifted children need little repetition to master concepts and ask deeper, more abstract questions.
