Before Sam was born, I just thought that our child would go to the local public school. Since then I've gone through an amazing learning curve... and mostly I think what I've learnt, is that it's not the school, its finding that special person in the school who cares.....

Responding to a comment on the Early Entry issue last week, I used the expression "square pegs in round holes". Some kids just are this at school, despite all the best and well intentioned efforts of the system and staff to help them "fit".

WELCOME! Feel free to wander around. Check out the community full intro? Or the reasons to register? Or the guide to contributing content? Or find out about the NSWAGTC and how to join?
Gifted children vary a lot. Some are great at sports. Some have disabilities. Children can be gifted or not along one or more of a large number of dimensions. Labels like "gifted" need to be used carefully as all children are different.
