Homeschooling...that might be a stretch
I'm not sure we could pull that off
Many of us thought that, too. And here we are. It's easier than you think.
For me, it was easier to homeschool than it was to fight with an inflexible school district. I realized I could spend my life fighting or I could just hang out with my child and help him learn. One sounded painful and horrible; the other sounded like fun!
Mostly I just want to suggest that you keep an open mind. There are a lot of myths and misconceptions about homeschooling. But the fact is, if you can parent a GT child, you can probably homeschool one! And just knowing that it is an option can give you strength in the face of school struggles. Anytime you're not at the mercy of someone else but have other options, you're acting from a position of strength. That's good when it comes to your child!
I'm HSing my GT DS8 for the last 2 years.
