Yes, but if you have three HG+ children, and are yourselves HG/HG+, then it really can escape your grasp to realize that no, not everyone could do that.
Most of the homeschoolers that we've known over the years-- even those with bright-to-really-REALLY-bright kids don't send them to community college until they are about 16.
The difference is that only a small percentage of kids can learn at whatever rate you can keep up with feeding them academics. That's part of what makes PG kids PG.
Now, what I guarantee is different. I guarantee that if you home school your kids 4 to 8 hours a day every day, they'll be stronger academically than their regular school peers, and they may well gain as much as 2-4 years on them by the end of secondary curriculum. But they'll still be limited by innate ability. It's just that they'll be limited by THEIR OWN innate ability, not that of the least able 1/3 of their classmates.
Innate ability
is the difference.
I suppose I assumed that Ami would have read something along the way on what it means to be gifted and that just didn't "jive" with what she said.
Made me cringe to see it in a paper. How many are thinking this is a matter of hot housing now?
