When I was moving from primary to  secondary school, kids who were &quot;gifted and talented&quot; were offered the chance to attend a summer school at the secondary to acclimatise them to their new surroundings.  One of the boys there had a mom who - having caught wind that gifted and talented children were getting special treatment - demanded her son be able to attend the summer school <i>even though he wasn't going to that secondary school<\/i>."}
