I get really bored in French class?

Okay, so I'm a Freshmen in higbscjool, and I'm taking French 3 (which is a sophomore lever class) I'm not trying to be obnoxious or anything, but I'm really good at French. It just comes easy to me, the grammar and the tenses and the conjugations just makes total sense! But the class moves so slow! I like the teacher, but he'll teach us like one thing a week, and then on Fridays we'll learn some silly French song... I mean, I love to learn about French culture and stuff, but next semester I'm taking a class dedicated to French culture, and so are some other people in my class... I feel like I'm not learning anything (I think because I grasp the concepts so quicktly) And when I get bored and restless I start acting up, which sucks because I really like the teacher and I feel bad because I'm distracting the people who need help. I try to get the teacher to let me go ahead, to give me extra homework and class work to keep me busy. But he thinks I'm just joking! I love to learn, and I don't think he gets that! (its an honors class so it's not like I can switch into a different one...) Please help, I don't like to disrupt the class, but I just can't help it! It's my ADD, I need to be doing something that I think is beneficial, and doing nothing just isn't working for me...

I got a teacher to put me on independent study in a language class once when I was ahead of the class. But this teacher probably can't do that. One thing I hope you and the teacher understand is that you don't become good at using a language by memorizing rules, conjugations, etc. Language is a skill, and you have to practice to become good, just as you wouldn't learn to be a good basketball player by memorizing a rule book. So the teacher should be setting up situations in which you get a lot of practice speaking, reading, writing and listening. If that's not happening, this isn't a very good teacher. If it IS happening, take advantage of it. Even if you think you know a rule, it takes practice before you can speak without thinking about the rules, like you do in English. You can also certainly do a lot of things outside of class- look up French newspapers online and read them, for example, But you'll have to develop your own strategies for not acting up in class.
