Hi Allison, tks for your perspective. It was a tough decision about whether to go back to school or not. The GT board in our area is committed and deals with kids of his nature. DH and I were quite impressed when they told of the success stories they've had. My primary problem with homeschooling was achieving a certain level of discipline, which school-gong kids are unlikely to face because of the structure in place. In terms of flexibility though, nothing beats homeschooling! I am now understanding that the wheels of bureaucracy turn on their own time and require far more documentation and justification than I had realized.
On a happy note, my son told me that they had showed up in his school and had administered a writing test. It's a surprise, but I am relieved. Perhaps things will move much faster from here.
