Yes, we homeschool without any oversight, though DD is currently doing a course through EPGY.

The schools here are quite rigid. After reading one local gifted parent's blog detailing her pleas all through the school, the school board, and on to the State Department of Education (which sent her back to the school board), I decided not to even try.

The private schools here are not good.

To be honest, it does feel like a very big responsibility to me. And since dd is outside of "the norm", there are special challenges to educating her myself.

So far, so good. She's really burning a hole in my wallet going through books, but we love the freedom.
