    [Hmm, do you have bingo in the rest of the world? The idea is, each player has a card marked with a randomly chosen subset of a set of numbers/items/sayings/whatever, and there is a caller, who calls out in turn a randomly chosen element of the whole set. If you have that element on your card, you cross it off. The first person who has a card with every element crossed off shouts "Bingo!" and wins. Old ladies play it in converted cinemas.]

    This morning I crossed off:

    "We have lots of children like [DS7] [implied, in his strong subject]"

    "We'd keep him with his age group for at least some maths lessons"

    "We think it's not good for them to take exams too early"

    "EQ is at least as important as IQ"

    What else might be on a school bingo card?

    We can teach all students in heterogeneous classes through *differentiated instruction*.

    "ALL children benefit from exposure to GATE (GT) instruction"

    "WHEN I offer more challenging work, your child often refuses that as well."

    "We CAN'T give her more challenging work or advance her until she shows she can do this work."

    "Talking to you as a mother, not a teacher, don't you think that you have just given him too much too soon?"

    "After 3rd grade, all the kids even out."

    "If you let him move ahead, where will he be in 10 years?"

    "He needs to focus on his coloring and scissor skills."

    "I know he knows all of it already, but he needs to complete all his work before I give him something more challenging."

    "Even if you chose this homeschool option, we don't provide subject acceleration because what would happen if you put her back in regular school?"

    duh...I think I would not be putting her in a school that can't meet her needs again
