The main aim of the article is to place the issue of boredom and idleness among students with disabilities during school education in a wide-ranging discussion. The author intends to point out the responsibility to identify boredom among students with disabilities and, in consequence, the need to adopt a strategy preventing this phenomenon. A thorough, systematic analysis of educational activities allows evaluation of their effectiveness and forms the basis for formulating principles to prevent all forms of boredom that condemns students to idleness, exclusion, marginalization, and loneliness. The article describes characteristics typical of boredom from the perspective of negative consequences students suffer as a result of neglect, tardiness, and disrespect from teachers. The author attempts to find optimal educational and therapeutic opportunities and, recognizing various limitations that lie inside and outside of the student, suggests a set of educational principles to prevent boredom among students as well as practical recommendations in this area for educators.
