My 6 yr old DS has been identified as gifted by his primary school.
The Head has assigned him a substantial history project to complete by Christmas.
Whilst the project is enjoyable for him, the extra workload on top of all of his other schoolwork (it is a very homework-y school) is very stressful for him. He is simply too tired to fit this into his day as well.
I thought differentiation for G&T pupils was all about providing more challenging work within school hours not dumping excessive amounts of work on children out of school.
Or have I misunderstood?!
