...and I was wondering if anyone else worries about the "politics" of it. I am with the people who think that saying that 10% or 5% or whatever of children are G&T is meaningless, and that labelling them is more likely to be damaging than not. I think there are G&T children in the world, but certainly not 5%! But I also wonder whether there is any correlation between that 5% of children and the most articulate, middle class parents? ANd if so, does calling their children G&T (as opposed to just very clever and motivated) cause the parents to shut up and stop pushing the school and the government to improve things for the 90%? Of am I too cynical for a Sunday morning? Is there any way of finding out, for example, how many children on the G&T register also get free school meals?
