Highly Able Children

[saisanne1]

Would like to hear from parents of highly children

And by that I mean a LEGAL entitlement. My best pal is a very knowledgable SENCO there and she's just confirmed this! The ASL Act of 2004 and its update in 2009 set this out for schools so we know where we stand and that the kids who need it most receive the necessary support.

It's not a legal entitlement tho. My pal knows her shit, believe me.

Evening folks. Just a reminder that we all have different issues to face as parents and we're all here for 'the-same-but-different' reasons, one way or another. So a bit of peace, love and understanding is always welcome. Thank you.

Additional support highly able

I agree with Leggit- lots not adding up and OP not impressed that some of us aren't bowled over by her child's prowess. I'd be more concerned about the bad behaviour and lack of social skills than the child not being challenged tbh.

Who has given the able/gifted label to the child at four? Apart from the Mum?

That's not true, you's are all getting abit crazy now, there is no reason at all I would lie about anything

Child phycologist assessed my child and said that

you's are all getting a bit crazy now

Well tell me what's not right? I've just proved you get additional support here for gifted! Go say I'm lying again, look it up. Do what you want

Leggit exactement 😕

I never said you were lying about that?

I pointed out, without insulting you personally, that there are a few things that don't add up. I made it very clear what I was saying and I didn't resort to insulting you.

If you can't see that then there is not much point in anyone who carries an opinion being on this thread. What you need are a few sheeple, to pop along and rub your over inflated idea about your 4 year old.

I think she might mean me Leggit 🙄**
In 30 years in secondary education, in huge schools too, I've never come across a child who has received additional support for being gifted and talented/able or whatever.....I've been in some very good or excellent schools too....

Every time I've said something someone else has said it too, what is it all to you

Oops bold fail. I'm obviously not gifted/talented/able in my keyboarding skills.....😉

Yeah that's maybe because Scotland only offer it

That's where I'm talking about

Mainly in primary schools as far as I know

But also I had never heard of it either, until I was told about it after the assessment and my son was offered it

Look it up it's all over the Internet

Hah just remembered the older ones could recite the alphabet at 3 years but always said zee not z - it was because Sesame Street came on at 6am. The early walkers watched open university maths on he needs of our bed until Sesame Street came on but weren't allowed to talk. They always sang the alphabet with big bird.

As I said before generally these kids struggle in areas

Research from 1930?

There's many other websites, they all say the same
