So I'm finally biting the bullet and applying for DYS for my son. Trouble is, we homeschool, and while he has contact with plenty of adults, none of them is really in a position to evaluate him from an academic standpoint. His piano teacher can't exactly say whether he "gives novel solutions to problems," and his Sunday school teacher can't really say if he "reads unusual books" or if he's "not easily discouraged by a difficult task." The teachers at the science class he goes to three weeks a year I don't think know him well enough to comment fairly, either.

So for all you homeschooling parents of Scholars, how did you handle the outside recommendation?

Thanks,
Karen
