We are at a place where we have to try to make decisions about DS and his education. He would start school in November here if he were going to go at all.
We have had a trial in a school with about 2.5 years acceleration already, and which, while an ok match socially was not a good match academically and as been terminated by the school anyway (not for any reason related to DS himself).
We're not sure where we should go from here. Homeschooling is an option, or do we look for another school that will start him early and/or radically accelerate him. Or should we start him with same age peers and supplement at home. Or try to organise a part time placement - with age peers or accelerated? I'd really appreciate some advice from those who have BTDT - what did you do that worked (OR what do you wish you'd done). We don't have gifted classes or schools here, so if he goes to school it's either same age or accelerated with a normal mix of kids in the class.
I'm leaning toward home ed mostly because is seems so hard to try and make something work within schools but within that struggling to come to terms with options so far as materials and programmes to use.
His current levels of academic achievement are at least 5 years advanced, more in some cases.
