So our system is too loosey-goosey, too NOT rigidly prescribed to work with teachers as a system that fosters social compliance, and therefore GT kids are "rebels?" Hmmm...Intriguing.

Certainly the people who have had the greatest negative reaction to our homeschooling in my experience are public school teachers. Most people have not been negative, of course, but of the people who *were* openly negative with me, all were public school teachers at some point in their lives.

I assumed this was because they took our move out of the schools as some sort of personal criticism. But perhaps the lack of social compliance we were demonstrating was part of it, too.

Hmmm...Interesting cultural twist! Very thought provoking!
