On the other hand,parent
29、s are not fully satisfied with the childrens results obtained in classes and they consider private classes would have better results.

36、 students in class for a teacher to teach D Are some people born clever,and others born stupid?Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience?Strangely enough,the answer to these questions is yes.To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth,and no amount of education c
37、an make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence.On the other hand,a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings.Thus the limits of a persons intelligence are fixed at birth,whether or not he reaches those li
