I'm curious about the homeschooling population in this community. Are we huge? Are we marginal?
I feel like I don't have a choice in the matter. Our son has never been in school. When I investigated options last year, the state's gifted coordinator actually told me to continue homeschooling rather than deal with the accommodations our local district could provide. I agreed, since the idea of shipping my 7yo off to high school for most of the day (with the exception of art and PE) didn't thrill me.
Anyway, our son is largely self-taught and we'll continue homeschooling for as long as it works well. I know that he'll take classes in the near future, as he's exhausting my personal resources. But I'd love to hear how other homeschoolers are tackling the issues of gifted education, especially for profoundly gifted children.
Best,
E
