I will never forget when we were looking for schools for our DS. We tried to explain to the Head of one school that our DS was rather advanced and we were asking what they could do for him to keep him challenged - his reponse "I have never met a truly gifted child. The closest that I came to meeting a gifted child was a little boy who could spell yacht backwards"

Needless to say DH and I ran a mile from this school! smile
