'This summer camp' was a week-long course held in a residential study centre in the Home Counties for a week. It was encouraged to help gifted children interact with one another and undertake fun, intelectually-stimulating extra-curricular activities by day and night. Naturally, most people there were a little off their nut, but I myself absolutely loved it, especially towards the end, when I appreciated quite how much the course had done for my previously-negligent social skills.
Ah, the bygone days of youth...

This isn't a good defence, is it? Still, best I can do under the circumstances.
(I got sent to one of those summer camps for gifted children things when I was about 12. This is one of the reasons why I decided I'd rather concentrate on social skills than academia. It cocked up the balance of my life so much that I ended up spending the rest of my time at school attempting to look completely stupid, rather than be associated with the sort of people who get made to go to summer camps for gifted children)

I learnt to blend social skills and academia, by ditching 'uncool' subjects like Science, and concentrating upon the 'arty' and the articulate. It helped that quite a few people on the summer camp were pretty cool on anyone's scale. Josie Long included, of course. ;-)

But hey, you're the one with the social *and* the academic skills.

Anyway, Ailsa, didn't we promise not to have any more arguments about education? :(

(I didn't promise anything. And this isn't an argument. Or about education.)
