I like this idea, but I have very little faith that it would be relied upon to get the job done. The ability to hand pick teachers so you can find individuals who don't have this veiled hostility would be more workable - will they allow it?

Personally, I was a kid who took this route, not because anyone told me too, but because I could. One one hand it kept me sane and able to complete the assignments. On the other hand it 'trained' me to look at EVERYTHING from an odd perspective in a compulsive way, which has been both a plus and a minus in adult life. I think that this is good for maybe 10% of a 7 year olds accomidation package, but not more than that.
