Would it be better at the current school if they did an additional grade acceleration?

WOULD they consider that as an option?


Here are my concerns as a seasoned homeschooling parent and someone who did actually juggle post-doctoral research work with homeschooling my then-4-to-9-yo HG+ DD:

a) there are TOO MANY independent pieces to your plan, and no real safety net if one of them collapses on you.

b) it's a lot of coordinating on YOUR behalf. Don't underestimate the complexity of doing that, or erroneously assume that it will run smoothly once you've set things up. It won't. You'll be spending at least a few work hours weekly on scrambling to make arrangements/cover something that got dropped by someone else, etc.

c) can you manage the increased STRESS to yourself? How welcome is your child in your workplace? His other parent's workplace?

d) what do you plan if one of the people in your subcontracting arrangement isn't living up to what you expect? Is doing things that you don't like?
