think there needs to be a g+ t topic because some kids are labeled g+t
But I hate and object to the fact that some kids are labeled g+t and others aren't. don't think its good for anyone. but think the problems go deeper.
If kids are able to do the work in less time, how about letting them read freely, letting them go for a walk or something? FFS, childhood isn't a race to be stretched as much as possible. How about leaving them to learn how to motivate themselves and learn what they want to learn, let them be kids.
oh incidentally, i went to the national association of gifted children every week when i was a kid, fecking brilliant, no test to get in, it was full of stuff like gymnastics, electronic, mainly run by the kids themselves. thats whats needed, not more of this "stretching".
and am having to resist very hard with making "qunine and a slice of lemon" comments.
