Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Learning Environments Advice? Homeschool starting at 5th gr.

Good luck Golfer26 (and triplejmom!) It's so good that homeschooling is legal in 50 states (thanks to all the homeschooling pioneers/advocates out there) because parents have the right to reclaim their child's education and love of learning, even if for a temporary time. For the more highly gifted children it really does seem to be a real struggle for so many schools to meet their needs.

When my daughter was in K I read a sentence that went something like...there might come a time when you realize you are spending an incredible amount of time and energy on advocating for your child and that you might decide, if you have the choice, to spend that time and energy educating your child yourself.

I love that sentence "We were placated masterfully by the administrator of the lower school." what priceless wording!! And I completely understand it.
