You're not answering their question.
They didn't ask whether you thought your child was special. They asked why you made the decision to homeschool.
ITA with this, and the rest of what binip said.
FWIW, I came back to this thread because a thought popped into my head that might be helpful - have you made contact with local homeschooling group(s) yet? I am guessing they exist - even in the best school districts (we live in a great school district, great neighborhood school etc, and I know quite a few folks who homeschool). That seems like the logical place to find like-minded parents, and I'm guessing you'd find some fun group activities to take your dc too as well as moms to join for playdates in the park etc - which means less likelihood you'd be talking "cold" to moms you don't know, therefore less likely to have inquiries about why you're homeschooling.. plus if someone did ask, there'd be more than one person to answer the question
