I have posted in the past of my experience with my now teen son and I had wished homeschooling would have been an option for me. Since I am the sole provider for my son, this was not a possibility. I cannot tell you what grief a parent and the child feels when a school district cannot open it's eyes and things get mixed up in politics high achievers and truely gifted and of small minds who have no idea how to entice a gifted and or gifted/adhd child to thrive.

Having a child left to their own devices because he/she will not follow the norm is very neglectful IMO.

I was a bit hesitant to respond to this post because there are many people who cannot understand that giftedness has it's own mixed set of blessings as successful people sometimes find themselves feeling quite alone.
