I think, if your random thought is "why go to school?" you want to research unschooling...you can read David Albert "And the skylark sings with me : adventures in homeschooling and commmunity-based education". I'm not ready to take it this far yet...
I tried #2 for 3 yrs and 2 months, then I tried #3, after the school's GT testing, to get harder work, a keyboard, switched to a different classroom, but all I heard was "she's a behavior problem"
Honestly, I vote for #1, even unschooling if you are comfortable with that...we are very happy to have a home study option in our district. There is an optional 3 hour class day once a week and Butter also takes violin, guitar, multimedia, games club, and 3 hours of art on Friday. We are seriously giddy with this arrangement. If you are considering homeschooling, there are plenty of great resources here and on Hoagie's
