I feel your pain and have children in different places with the public school to not attending public school at all, based on the needs of that child. I'm glad to hear that you didn't give in to the pressure and keep him in school. It can be a scary decision to make. It sounds like you have one very smart little guy, and having been there, it would be devistating to allow him to loose that love of learning.

We had a similar response with my DD9 about completing simple assigments before she was allowed higher ones. She gave up and wouldn't even complete the simple ones in the end. I don't understand how a teacher could think that this would motivate a GT kid over time?
