Yup, me too. And way too many overheard conversations in the staff room.

Something to keep in mind in all of this:studies have shown that parents are actually very good at identifying gifted children - often actually underestimating their children's abilities. (I don't have to do the how yes, it depends, blah blah thing here do I?) I can't find the references right now (if I find it I'll post it), but it's worth keeping in mind when you doubt 'other people's children'.
