No advice to offer, but wanted to say I've enjoyed this discussion. We are considering pulling our kids out of public school and homeschooling them next school year. I am still weighing the pros and cons so this was a timely thread for me.
This discussion is timely for us also. Our daughter will start (a yet to be determined) high school next year. Our son�s school recently informed us that they wouldn�t know until next fall whether DS will be allowed to progress to ALG1 next year as it will depend on class scheduling rather than his apparent talent and interest in math.
I guess my advice would be to home-school now and save the private school tuition for when your children�s abilities surpass your expertise and ability to instruct them at a level of challenge.
