Gifted and Talented :l

[Kardan]

My school just had a day of activites for G+T. Year 7 involved throwing tennis balls around. Year 8 involved going to the National Space Center, and Year 9 was making a newspaper. You were in G+T if you came in the top 30 of some test you had to do in the school.

Year 10 onwards just offered you a place in that Maths Challenge thingy.

In secondary school, all the tards got to be 'Gifted and Talented'.

Congratulations.

Right, my mum phones me up tells me i have a letter saying I'm gifted and talented in maths, english, science french and D.T
Ok, I hardly even try in class.. But yeah I understand the core subjects, but I'm not aloud into D.T classes as I played up too much :S
What the hell..
I'm in year 9 by the way, but yeah they said I'll get more challenging homework etc, so yeah I lose.

Sucks to be you man! I was a G&T and the benefits of it was extra schools trips like to thorpe park. Once in a while we went to another school and did like a group session quiz but thats as far as educational we went.

Also is it some sort of rule that G&T programs have to have a token naughty lazy person?

I have, hand on heart, never done a single piece of homework when i was in school, only coursework. I spent most my school life banned from our computers because I kept finding exploits in the system. (Stupid RM) and if I wasn't in detention I would either be in a watching a fight, starting a fight or smoking somewhere.

I mean yeah my results were always good but surely the school would rather pick the model students. Of which there were others who didn't get into the program.

At old secondary school G+T was for top performers in class. Normally went thorpe park and places.

Yeah as I said that was the same for me.

u get asked to join if ur in the top 5% of the UK.

First they were called NAGTY (national academy for gifted and talented youth).
I was a member of that.

Later, they changed to YGT (young gifted and talented), and if u were part on NAGTY, u where invited to both, so technically ur part of 2.

it just looks good on ur UCAS statement and will impress ur uni.

[Ordinate]

yh, i part of them too

ROFL In my old school there were like loads of little kids wanting to be in the show and they were like... LAME

We had gifted and talented at our school. Get the letter years ago in yr7 or 8 (honestly can't remember) and trust me any stupid ******* can get on it, and a lot of schools dont even do it because it sucks. You get access to a website with help topics and I never got the passwords lol so it just sounds like the schools are trying to make everyone think they are working their little asses off when really they aren't doing anything..

Aww I remember NAGTY, went on a lovely trip to Manchester with them.

Oh and @Jin, I was like you, never doing homework and stuff, but I was an absolute genius so they had no choice

NAGTY was for like, the top 5%, but does anyone remember what they called us geeks that were in the top 1%? That made me feel much more nerdy than NAGTY
