MON, my son does not need much socialization and actually prefers to learn by himself, even without our help. He is not a very social child and loves to sit by himself and work on things that interest him.

I am thinking to do a combo of EPGY and in classroom instruction. This all depends on his 1st grade teacher. After the short conversation I had with her it seemed she was on fire thinking thinking up activities.In her own words "This is what I would do with him. I would tell him to make up 5 problems for me to solve. And try to make it hard for me". Interesting enthusiasm at least.

Not sure how much work there will be in 1st grade. It IS a private school that has a reputation being a grade level above public school.. Who knows.

Do you home school?
