Okay two reasons why I am asking this....
My mom works at a school and I asked her to get me the list of skill ect that they expect at the end of K4(4 year old preschool) and at the end of K5 (Kindergarten). Well she did, and DD 2 and 1/2 has about 3/4 of the skills expected at the end of K4 and about 1/2 of those at the end of K5. And her birthday is in March so here she could not start K for 3 more years. She will be way advanced by then.
Okay second, I was speaking with our local children's librarian, who is absolutly wonderful by the way, and she was speaking to me about how advanced and gifted DD is. She told me that our school district is awful for gifted students and has no gifted programs. She said, "you really might need to homeschool her"
We are homeschooling preschool, ensuring that she gets around lots of kids and learns to follow the directions from others by doing weekly story times at the library and homeschool co-op for preschool age once a week. So two times a week schedualed group activities. Anyway, I am just wondering if I should prepare myself that our school district just wont fit her well. Our librarian is extreamly knowledgable and it just struck me when she told me this about the district coupled with the evaluations my mom sent me.
Just wanted some thoughts. I don't think DH is really on board yet with homeschooling once K rolls around, but I know he will do whatever is best for DD....it sometimes just takes him awhile to accept thats not always what is the norm for everyone else.
