That's what we did, and it was great. We made contacts with the wider homeschooling community too, which was really useful.

On the downside, once I realised what we could do at home, going to school just seemed so much of a compromise smile

I was just telling my husband, that homeschooling is slowly going from "last resort," to "first choice." smile

That comment is so true! And I think that's what has to happen for more and more people world wide - not just parents of gifted kids, but any parent who wants a naturally curious kid. I have been reading a few different books on home schooling and other related topics lately and its seeming more and more like this is what would make so many more kids truly happy and able to work to their own potential and speed and interests - whatever those may be.
