Are you a G & T Catholic?

In the British education system today we apparently have a shorthand way of describing special needs pupils. Special needs falls into two camps, those children with learning difficulties and those who are infant prodigies, the brainy ones who are always top of the form. Paradoxically, it is the brainy ones who tend to be ignored while all the support money goes into providing for autistic, dyslexic and Down's Syndrome children. A good cause, of course, but "star" quality children, I believe, also require a similar if not equal amount of resources and support.

Now, at last, an academic type person has come up with a classification that will enable the teacher to identify "stars" (for want of a better word) so that they too may receive parity of esteem as they used to say. What is the classification? Well, it's nothing too complicated....actually its G & T. That means "Gifted and Talented".

How would that work, say, in a parish. Who would be identified as a gifted and talented Catholic? Would anyone?

Cheers!

Well, in all modesty I can lay claim to being a G& T Catholic except that, in my case it refers to Gin and Tonic!
