Do you think letters inviting children to events because they are gifted and talented are a ploy to get parents to persuade their children to attend?! My dd has been invited to attend a Maths master class. Not sure many people would be falling over themselves to attend a Maths class for an hour and a half in the evening and they want a parent to attend as well. We will be going although my dd is saying her other friends are saying their parents are insisting they go. Also they have cast their net quite wide, and invited not just the top table of 6 (60 pupil year group) but the children on next table too. But what really grates for me, is this event is being staged by the local high school, and of the children on the top table at least four of the six will be choosing to send their child to an out of catchment "better" school. It just seems a bit disengenious to me.
