That I don't understand at all, how do you advocate without telling the school? It does not sound like this is a child that would/could "fly under the radar".


Yes, I find this odd too. I can't really see how you could negotiate proper accomodations without the giftedness being taken into account? How can they meet his needs if you aren't telling them what his needs are?

I'm homeschooling too. Rhat's a disclaimer! wink Mant professionals actually don't understand homeschooling (or giftedness for that matter). There is plenty of evidence that it can and does work.

There are no easy answers here, but keep reading and researching and follow you parental instincts. You are the expert on your child.
