Is this considered HOT HOUSING?


Some might say that when high ability children go for learning support such as seeking external help outside of school is ‘hot housing’, especially to get into the local gifted education programme (GEP), I seek to disagree to a certain extent. There are a few good reasons why these high ability children might benefit from additional learning opportunities.

1.          The high ability learner might be significantly ahead of their peers in a subject and may be in danger of being bored unless there is an opportunity for them to stretch their potential outside of school.

2.          The high ability learner could be underachieving at school in one or more subjects and could benefit from extra learning support outside of school.

3.          The high ability learner needs access to alternative forms of support which the school is unable to offer.

4.          Just as star athletes train with skilled coaches, high ability learners need guidance from well-trained teachers who are able to challenge and support them in order to help develop their intellectual abilities as early as possible.

5.          There is no strong provision for young high ability learners.
