It's for the GEP result last year?syshi:
If posted this evening like earlier post, then earliest will only receive by 26th Nov...
Actually maybe you open your letter box again at 7pm. Might have. Earlier this year was waiting anxiously for letter. Husb opened letterbox at 4pm and had letters, but said nothing from school. then when my friends started sms'g after 6+pm, we got suspicious enuf to go open letterbox again at 7pm, and actually have! So the postman made 2 delivery round?!!!
Maybe the letter is 'registered' or 'courier', hence additional round of delivery? Mine normal delivery will be 1pm... earlier or later, no more...
Anyway, need to check the mailbox more often tomorrow... -

Wanted to share this article about gifted children from the Gifted Development Centre in the US.

I found it very helpful to my understanding. Some highlights:
\" ...Parents are excellent identifiers of giftedness in their children: 84% of 1,000 children whose parents felt that they exhibited 3/4 of the traits in our Characteristics of Giftedness Scale tested in the superior or gifted range...\"
\"... Giftedness can be observed in the first three years by rapid progression through the developmental milestones. These milestones should be documented and taken seriously as evidence of giftedness...\"
\"...Brothers and sisters are usually within five or ten points in measured ability. Parents' IQ scores are often within 10 points of their children's...\"
\"...Giftedness is not elitist. It cuts across all socio-economic, ethnic and national groups (Dickinson, 1970). In every culture, there are developmentally advanced children who have greater abstract reasoning and develop at a faster rate than their age peers. ..\" -
