You are essentially paying around $12/hr for someone to care for your child 7.5 hours a day *and* give them an education. It's less expensive than having a parent leave the workforce to homeschool, unless that parent's earning potential is less than $12/hr.

It stinks that the public school system that everyone is already paying for can't find a way to create at least a few schools in each state that would really serve HG+ learners, so that highly gifted kids whose parents are in the bottom 50% of income could still get an appropriate education.
