I hate this topic. I have often said on here how much I hate it - some posters only use G&T, even for topics like 'my ds won't brush his teeth' etc (well ykwim). Others think that only parents with 'children on the register' should be allowed to post here. Others see it as a 'boasting area'. And other actually want to use it properly but can't because it is seen a bit as a 'joke' topic, and posting in here can make you seem 'pushy'. As it happens my kids AREN'T on any register. I know they are very bright (esp dd), but wouldn't say they are 'gifted'. They do seem 'talented' at music. But not so extraordinarily so that the rest of the board wouldn't cater for that, and I personally think most of the questions on here would be better in other sections of the 'education' board anyway. Given that a child in one school who is 'G&T' may be average in another, there may well be queries in here that a parent with a similar child might not see, jut because their child isn't on a 'register' even though they may be more able.
Can you tell it annoys me?
