Hi Gatorgirl and welcome.

I'm glad your son is being served well in school. That's promising that they will pull your daughter and subject accelerate 3 years, I wish they would do that at DD's school!
But my eldest DD is happy now but is also working comfortably 3 years ahead grade level in most subjects, just at home.

DD6 is very gifted but it doesn't seem to translate as well to academics. She isn't as interested as DD8. We have experienced emotional problems for her and I've definately seen a pattern between anxiety during the school months, none during the summer months.

We are going to send her to school with the expectation that if the anxiety resumes she will be homeschooled. DD8 wants to go to school, but if she ever says she would rather homeschool, we will make the adjustment immediately.

I have been preparing for homeschooling for the last year and finally feel like I am ready to do so it goes that way.

There are some awesome homeschooling parents here, you are sure to get some really great feedback.
