I think the original question here was whether PG kids can survive in regular classroom. I believe they can survive, but it would be unfortunate--a waste. I do not believe they will be happy with this and their work habits will flatline. Skipping one or more grades and being in a regular classroom would be an improved scenario, though the truth is nothing will be quite right.

I'm still in awe of you who homeschool. I don't think I'd ever be able to relax, thinking I'm fully responsible and that I'm failing failing failing. To be the only voice...maybe I lack confidence in being that voice. I also think my kids seem to tune out that particular voice--how could it be effective? I admire those who do it and succeed, because it's very rare to find a really gifted teacher, and that's what's needed for a PG kid (more likely to be found in the parents of the kids).
