[quote=Anonymous]I was in the gifted program in school, and I remember being bored sometimes.  It depended on the teacher.  I had one teacher who didn't mind if I read quietly at my desk if I was done with my other work.  I had another teacher that insisted that it was distracting others so I could only sit quietly doing nothing if I had already completed an assignment.   I had a math teacher who made me give him my book as I entered the room, because he thought it was distracting others to have me working ahead as he taught them material that I already knew.  Some teachers would let me work quietly at my own pace, and then give me additional things to work on that the rest of the class wasn't ready for or didn't have time for.  The teachers that let me just do my own thing were the ones that didn't bore me.  The teachers that insisted that I stay on pace with the class bored me to tears.  I would fill in the holes of all the letters in my books to try to stay awake in those classes.[/quote]
