However this 11 is more often from parents and teachers than from students, and some of these 12 simply conclude that special classes should be set up for those who are 13 . Some top students do feel bored in class, but why they 14 so goes far beyond the work they have in school. Studies have shown that to be bored is to be anxious. The gifted child whop is bored is an 15 child.‎ ‎1. A. principle B. theory C. arguments D. classification ‎2. A. designing B. grouping C. learning D. living ‎3.
